2012:634 - Clifford Terrace, Wexford, Wexford

Monitoring of groundworks was undertaken in September 2012 in response to planning conditions, as the site is located within the medieval town of Wexford. In total 0.6-0.7m of garden soils and made ground were excavated from the site. The uncovered deposits consisted of dark brown/black garden soil with red brick and mortar inclusions, which gave way to a ‘cleaner’ garden soil which became grey in colour, although it also contained inclusions of red brick and cinders. Re-deposited subsoil was also apparent among the deposits. No previously unknown archaeological features or deposits were identified.
