Testing of a site at Sluice Lane, Fethard, was undertaken in July 2002 (Excavations 2002, No. 1912). Three trenches were excavated throughout the areas to be affected by construction-related groundworks. No features or deposits of a definite archaeological nature were revealed. However, a subsoil cut feature, C7, located in Trench 2 towards the north-eastern corner of the site, was thought to be of possible archaeological significance.
Monitoring of the excavation of foundation trenches at the site was undertaken in 2004. The monitoring did not gain any further information on feature C7, nor were any further features of archaeological significance uncovered.
