Testing was undertaken at Great Longford Street, Dublin 2. The site is adjacent to the site of excavations that uncovered burials associated with St Peter’s Church between 2000 and 2002 (00E0559 ext.). It is proposed to develop the site with residential units over a ground-floor commercial/retail unit. A planning application has yet to be made in respect of the proposed development.
The testing took place on 25 September 2003 using a machine equipped with a flat, toothless bucket. Two trenches were excavated. The results suggest that no archaeological deposits survive on the site.
