Monitoring took place of test pits associated with the proposed extension to the hospital at Bon Secours, Dublin 9. The site is located in the townland of Dublin North City. The aim was to monitor the excavation of a number of engineering test pits within the site of the proposed development in compliance within condition number 5 attached to the grant of Planning Permission 4078/18 issued by Dublin City Council.

No archaeological features or deposits were exposed or identified. One mortared stone wall was identified within test pit 4. It was orientated north-west/south-east, measured 0.7m in width and appears to represent a portion of an internal boundary or garden wall to the rear of Delville House which once stood on the site.
