Three trenches were excavated and monitoring of surface soil-stripping took place on 31 March 2006 in the vicinity of a proposed retail development in the medieval settlement of Tipperary town. Two of the trenches measured 14m in length along a north–south axis and parallel to each other. The depth achieved in these trenches was 0.22m, with 0.15m consisting of gravel and stone overlying the clay natural. The third trench excavated measured 3.5m and was oriented along the same axis as the first two and situated centrally between them. A matrix of 0.1m of modern building rubble overlay a yellow clay natural subsoil. No material or cultural remains were recovered from the excavated and monitored areas.
