Monitoring was undertaken in an area known as Town Walls, immediately inside the eastern line of the medieval town walls of New Ross, on 12 August 2002.
A single, L-shaped foundation trench was cut toward the southern boundary of the site. The trench, which measured 2.1m east–west by 1.9m, was excavated to a maximum depth of 0.6m. The stratigraphy uncovered consisted of loose topsoil and modern building rubble overlying undisturbed natural shales.
Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered.
