Monitoring was carried out on the site following the assessment carried out during 2002, when fragmentary human remains were revealed on the site (Excavations 2002, No. 284). During monitoring of ground reduction, a cache of 60 homemade hand grenades were found, which probably date to the War of Independence. This appears to be the largest single cache of such grenades found in the Munster area dating to this period. No other features or finds were revealed.
