The imminent demolition of three seemingly ordinary Victorian two-storey houses on Vicar Street, Kilkenny, to facilitate a new road scheme will seriously injure the historical integrity of the medieval city, according to opponents of the plan.
Ciln Drisceoil, director of the Kilkenny Archaeological Society, noted that the three houses stood on the site of a much earlier courtyard manse - the Prebendary of Tascoffin - intimately associated with the nearby medieval St Canices Cathedral.
He disputed Kilkenny county manager Joe Crocketts contention that the houses were of no heritage value, saying there were substantial grounds to believe that parts of the Tascoffin complex were still standing behind Victorian accretions.
Mr Drisceoil said investigations conducted to date have been inadequate, as no large areas of plaster were removed to see what was underneath. Thus, the local authority still has no idea as to the extent of surviving remains of the medieval house.
He also warned that the Central Access Scheme - as the proposed road is now called - could lead to large-scale destruction of deeply stratified layers of waterlogged medieval archaeology, such as timber structures found at nearby Johns Bridge.
New research indicates there is every likelihood that the Central Access Scheme will lead to the destruction of a famine graveyard that is recorded as having been present at the County Fever Hospital, Wolfe Tone Street, Mr Drisceoil said.
He also noted that excavation of a similar graveyard on a site next to Kilkennys railway station, where MacDonagh Junction shopping centre was being developed, had cost more than 1 million in 2006-2007 and led to the disinterment of over 900 bodies.
The Central Access Scheme budget has already increased from 8.5 million to 10.7 million. Archaeologists familiar with the area believe that costs could rise significantly because of the likely presence of sensitive archaeological remains on the route.

The demolition of the historic Paramount Theatre building in downtown Chilliwack earned it a spot on the Heritage Canada Foundations worst losses list for 2013.
The inclusion of the Paramount makes it clear that the loss has impacted more than just the Chilliwack community, said Laura Reid, a member of Friends of the Paramount Theatre.
News of the demolition decision went global with Heritage Canada Foundations recognition the heritage value of the Paramount building by including it on the top 10 endangered list for 2012 as well as the worst losses for 2013.
When no proposal with enough financial backing came forward, city council voted last year to demolish the historic building.
Now Reid said she wondered if city officials had been presented last summer with a Statement of Significance on the heritage value of the Paramount, would they have accepted the gift from Landmark Cinemas, and then went ahead with demolition plans?
The lack of a Community Heritage Commission may have also played a part in the theatres demise," said Reid.
Members of the Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount group, which later became the Chilliwack Paramount Film Society, tried to respond to the citys Request for Proposals with a proposal to run the building as a repertory-style theatre.
Instead council voted to demolish, taking Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporations (CEPCO) up on its offer to demolish the building at no cost, in a vote of 6-1.
The city went through two RFP processes, and when neither one produced a viable proposal from a business point of view, its future was sealed. The building had to undergo asbestos removal before demolition, and was run down.
"The building was demolished and sits as a vacant lot," reads the entry on the Heritage Canada Foundation website. "Luckily of the building's contents went to Chilliwack Museum to be eventually put on display."
