Planning permission was granted by Wexford Borough Council to refurbish a site at 2 South Main Street, Wexford. The refurbishment involved the excavation of a large area at the rear of the premises to create an overall ground floor level with South Main Street. Monitoring was carried out under licence 07E0124 on various dates in 2007 by Emmet Stafford.

In 2013 the property came into new ownership, and due to structural changes it was necessary to excavate some of the existing floor to enable load-bearing columns to be inserted. No archaeological features or deposits were uncovered during the monitoring.
