Monitoring of services installation was undertaken in Rowe Street church carpark and Mallin Street, Wexford. In the church carpark the remains of the medieval town wall were uncovered. The mortar-bonded wall had a width of 1.5m and was faced on the eastern side. It was situated at a depth of between 0.5m and 0.7m below the present carpark level, and was overlain by loose rubbly deposits and the modern carpark surface.
