Excavations at a proposed development site at Ash Walk, Ardee, took place on 12 August 2004. The development site is located to the rear of two buildings that front on to Castle Street, at the centre of the medieval town. Ash Walk led down to Ash Walk Gate, which was the main western gate through the town wall. It is possible that the original market cross was located at the road crossing between Castle Street, Ash Walk and Lamb's Lane.

Three trenches were excavated across the proposed development site and nothing of any archaeological significance was noted.
