Three test-trenches were machine-excavated in the garden of the proposed development site. Topsoil was removed to a depth of c. 0.4m and comprised good-quality dark-brown/black garden soil. Beneath this the natural subsoil was orange–brown and somewhat sandy. No archaeological finds or levels were noted below this in the trenches. A tower in the garden is listed in the Cork City Development Plan and has been retained.
