What is recorded here
Derry soils hide layers from the C17th settlement onward. Each shovel strike opens chambers where forgotten hands worked, loved and vanished. The city still dreams through its own buried skin.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URBAN EXCAVATION - C17th SETTLEMENT onwards. Recorded period: POST-MED; C18TH/C19TH; MODERN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
