Monitoring took place on 26 August 2002 during the excavation of foundations for an extension (6m by 4m) to a two-storey, red-brick, late 19th-century house at 6 Chapel Street, Dundalk.
The site is east of the line of the medieval defences of the walled ‘Newtown of Dundalk’, founded on its present site in the early 13th century, and south-west of the medieval suburb of Seatown. The hand-dug foundation trenches revealed that material of 19th- and 20th-century date, including three plastic service ducts and a lead water pipe, extended to 0.8m below the present yard surface.
