This development was located at the corner of Maryborough Street and Morrins Lane, Graiguecullen, Carlow. Graiguecullen, a suburb of Carlow on the west bank of the River Barrow, is medieval in origin and may have centred around the unlocated ‘White Castle’.
The mechanical excavation of two foundation trenches and a single post-pad to support a raft foundation for the two-storey pub and apartment development was monitored. Once the modern overburden of the demolished mid-19th-century buildings on the site had been removed, the underlying sand of the Barrow flood-plain was revealed. No features or finds of archaeological significance were uncovered during the groundworks.
