A monitoring programme was conducted in May 2011 during construction of the foundations of a small extension behind Unit 2 (Park Pharmacy) of the Park Shopping Centre in North Dublin city.
The foundation trenches reached a depth of 1m below the existing ground surface. The monitoring programme found that modern disturbance associated with the construction of the Park Shopping Centre in the 1980s reached a depth of 0.8–1m. Below this were two thin archaeological layers (both truncated by the modern disturbance) dating from the industrial period (18th or 19th century). No features of interest were noted.
