Trial-trenching was carried out at the rear of the Augustinian priory in Galway city on 22 March 2005. Three trial-trenches were excavated. A layer of compacted mortar was uncovered in one trench but could not be examined further due to restricted space. Testing did not result in the discovery of any heretofore unknown structural remains.
