Testing was carried out at ‘Johnsville’, Church Hill, Wicklow, relating to the building of a two-storey-over-basement extension to an early 19th-century villa. Church Hill is within the zone of archaeological potential of Wicklow town and takes its name from the hill on which the medieval church was sited, now occupied by St Thomas’s, an 18th-century Church of Ireland building. This was c. 50m north-west of the development site.
Four trenches were excavated by machine; two revealed a substantial layer of backfilled material from the construction of the house. The other trenches bottomed onto brown/orange, silty clay natural. No features of archaeological significance were uncovered.
