Testing of a single-house development took place on 15 January 2005. The scheme was situated within the recognised medieval urban zone of Tipperary and encompassed an area of c. 340m2, of which the impacts of the footprint of the proposed building took in 120m2. Excavation of the test-trench achieved depths consistent with the surface of the natural subsoil, 0.24–0.35m in overall depth, of which the topsoil was 0.16m, and rested directly upon the underlying natural subsoil, which consisted of a yellow clayey silt with frequent inclusions of decayed and undecayed limestone. Nothing of an archaeological nature was encountered in the course of the works.
