As part of granted planning permission to construct a dwelling house, undertake associated site works and demolish an existing vacant cottage at Derrinlaur Lower, via Clonmel, Co. Waterford, it was required to archaeologically monitor both the demolition of the cottage and groundworks associated with constructing the new dwelling house.
The development site was located c. 100m to the southeast of Derrinlaur castle (WA002-003001). In addition to the tower-house, there are potentially three seventeenth-century houses present (WA002-003002, WA002-054001 & WA002-054002).
No archaeological features and/or remains were uncovered in the course of monitoring the ground works associated with the construction of the dwelling house and ancillary site works. No medieval building fabric was uncovered from the demolition of the cottage.
