Planning permission was obtained for the construction of a small extension to an existing Community Hall at Clashganny, Newcastle village. One of the conditions of granted planning permission required that all ground disturbance to be monitored by an archaeologist.
The site is located c. 300m to the south-east of a monument recorded in the South Tipperary Record of Monuments and Places in Middlequarter townland (TS088-032), classified as a settlement cluster, and comprises a church, graveyard, castle (tower-house) and bawn.
The Community Hall, located in the centre of the village, was built in the 1930s when it served as school. In the 1970s a flat-roofed extension was built to the rear and side; the same sides where the new extension was located. This site was tarred to the rear whilst a lawned area survived to the side (north end).
No archaeological features and/or remains were uncovered in the course of archaeological monitoring.
