Pre-development testing was carried out at 30–31 Francis Street, Dublin 8, on 22 of August. The site was situated on the northern end of Francis Street, opposite the junction of Francis Street and Swift’s Alley. The development comprises the refurbishment of the existing buildings, a reduction of the existing ground level by 0.5m in the yard area and the excavation of a service trench.
A north–south-oriented trench was excavated in the centre of the yard. It was 1m in width, 5m in length and 0.9m in depth. Nothing of archaeological significance was recorded during the testing.
