A programme of monitoring was undertaken at the Park Shopping Centre, Prussia Street, Dublin 7 in February 2015. The development concerns minor alterations to the existing shopping centre associated with the construction of a new pedestrian access linking the new DIT Campus in Grangegorman to the east with Prussia Street to the west.

The groundworks took place within a narrow line running east-west along the southern boundary of the shopping centre. The only feature of archaeological or heritage interest is the Grangegorman boundary wall. This feature (a Protected Structure) is described in detail in the Grangegorman Masterplan Part 8: Conservation (Grangegorman Development Agency, 2008). This is a limestone wall of early 19th-century date.

No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered.
