2023:096 - 47A Main Street, Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary

Archaeological monitoring of all ground disturbance works took place intermittently in April and May 2023, for the construction of an extension, an amenity garden, and ancillary site works, to the rear of an existing residential property. The site was situated within the Zone of Notification for the Historic Town of Carrick-on-Suir (TS085-004----), adjacent to a major arterial route and close to the eastern gate for the defensive walls, and the castle, of the medieval walled town. No subsurface groundworks were undertaken and works subject to monitoring mainly consisted of site demolition works. Nothing of archaeological significance was revealed. However, the partial remains of three nineteenth-century stone-built structures and a red brick garden wall, fossilised in the property boundary walls of the development site, as well as a nineteenth-century cobbled surface in the adjacent laneway, were revealed during the monitoring. All of these features were preserved in situ. No further archaeological mitigation was recommended.
