Monitoring was undertaken during the excavation of 24 geotechnical pits adjacent to the retort house at Kilkenny gas works. The ground was heavily disturbed and contained small fragments of disarticulated human bone, modern ceramics and isolated architectural fragments. Demolition of the retort house revealed several dressed limestone fragments, including a window, possibly Tudor in date, which may have been salvaged from an earlier building and reused.
