Monitoring was conducted during groundworks associated with the construction of two townhouses at St Loman’s Street, Trim. The site is situated on the east side of St Loman’s Street, immediately south of a graveyard and cathedral, and south-west of the ruins of St Patrick’s Church.

The existing building on the site was demolished and the ground levelled by machine. Most of the soil removed at this point was made up of fill and modern building rubble. The trenches excavated for foundations were a maximum depth of 0.8m, c. 0.2m of which was made-up ground. The soil profile was 0.2m of fill and made-up ground; 0.4m of grey, silty clay; 0.2m of yellow/grey clayey silt natural subsoil. The monitoring disclosed no material of an archaeological nature.
