A new school hall was to be built for the Thurles Christian Brothers school. The small-scale development is sited within the zone of archaeological potential for Thurles, SMR 41:42. The site of the new hall is in the vicinity of the medieval town defences and has the potential to uncover subsurface features associated with it.

Three test-trenches were mechanically excavated across the footprint of the building. Several modern, stone-filled soak pits were uncovered. No finds or features of archaeological significance were uncovered.
