A programme of Archaeological Monitoring commenced in June 2024 with respect to the construction of a child Development Centre at Grey Abbey Road, Tully West, Kildare, Co. Kildare. The western extent of the site is located within the RMP Zone established for Kildare (KD022-029) and it is positioned across the road from the Grey Abbey (KD022-029006).
No subsurface features have been uncovered, to date; seventeen sherds of medieval and six sherds of post-medieval pottery was recovered and submitted for specialist reporting to Clare McCutcheon.
Works at the site have been suspended due to financial issues relating to Government Funding. Consequently, works in the southern area of the site have not, as yet been completed.
