Monitoring of conservation works was undertaken on a section of the town defences at Goat Hill, New Ross. The wall was partially dismantled as it was structurally unsound. The dismantled section was a later section of rebuilding, probably constructed when the nearby Airmount House was built. The structurally unsound portion of the wall was removed to a stable level which was a considerably wider section of wall presumed to be medieval or late medieval in date.
