No trace of it survives above ground, and its precise location has not been firmly established, which makes it one of those quietly significant absences that specialist researchers occasionally notice and most visitors walk past without any awareness that something of consequence once occupied the ground beneath their feet.

The historian H.B. Clarke, writing in 2002, places the exchequer 'within the walls' in the vicinity of High Street, part of the dense institutional fabric that once made this area the governmental and ecclesiastical centre of medieval Dublin. The exchequer itself was the office responsible for auditing royal revenues and managing accounts, a function borrowed from the English administrative system and transplanted into the Irish context during the period of Plantagenet expansion. It did not remain in Dublin indefinitely. Around 1363, the exchequer was closed and relocated to Carlow, a move that reflected broader shifts in where effective English authority was actually being exercised in Ireland, as the reach of Dublin-centred administration contracted over the course of the fourteenth century.

High Street today runs through an area that has been extensively built over and excavated in phases, and visitors to this part of the city are more likely to encounter signage related to Christ Church Cathedral or the medieval quarter's more legible landmarks. There is nothing to mark the exchequer's former presence. For those interested in the medieval administrative landscape, the area around High Street and its immediate side streets rewards a slow walk with a good map of the medieval city; Clarke's work, and the broader scholarship on Dublin's walled town, provides the kind of layered reading that makes an otherwise ordinary urban streetscape considerably more interesting.
