2009:352 - MILLTOWN: Elm Grove House, Milltown Road, Dublin

A test excavation was carried out on the site with a view to establishing if there were any archaeological remains prior to the proposed development of a single detached two-storey house. The site formed a portion of the rear garden of a 19th-century house facing Milltown Road and is adjacent to the recent Milltown House development, previously the site of Mount St Anne’s convent and school. Two test-trenches were excavated by machine indicating the existence of a thick deposit of garden soil of 19th-century vintage, corresponding to the construction of Elm Grove House. There were no other archaeological features noted.
