2013:452 - 53 O’Connell Street, Clonmel, Tipperary

The client conducted demolition of a street-front pharmacy and redevelopment at same location. The 20^th-century pharmacy with residential units over retained 19^th-century structural elements, while upstanding remains of a 17^th-century Quaker Meeting House survive in the boundary wall at the rear of the site. Both demolition of the street-fronted building and ground works associated with the redevelopment were monitored. Monitoring took place between October 2013 and January 2014 and encompassed an area of 1200m². While no archaeology was encountered in the ground works, architectural fragments were recovered form the demolition works. These consisted of seven cut and dressed stone window reveals. Five of them were sandstone and were consistent with being post-medieval, while the remaining two were of cut and dressed limestone and possibly of medieval origin.
