There was no evidence for any archaeological features or deposits located within the trenches opened. The trenches were generally similar in stratigraphical profile, comprising deep deposits of rubble, probably the demolition fill of the 18th-century houses known to have once stood there. The infill deposits to the rear of the site within Trenches 1 and 2 appeared to be deliberate build-up of the ground, with deep layers of crushed red brick and mortar laid down on the underlying silt. The remains of red-brick basement walls in Trenches 3 and 4 near the Usher Quay frontage lay directly on the river silt deposits, with no evidence for any earlier structures.
