Archaeological monitoring of excavation work associated with the upgrading of the existing water pipe infrastructure on New Street, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary, was undertaken from 19 to 26 June 2018.
A pair of trenches, of approximately 42m in length, were excavated to a depth and width of approximately 1m each, running north-south parallel to one another along New Street, in the vicinity of the town hall to the west, and the site of the former military barracks to the east. The surface road layers were broken through to a greyish-brown silty clay with frequent small and medium stone inclusions. In places gravel deposits lay underneath the road surface.
Nothing of archaeological significance was identified as part of the excavation.
