1996:348 - SLIGO: Wine Street carpark, Sligo

An archaeological impact assessment was carried out by Archaeological Development Services Ltd on 28 August 1996 at the Rooftop Restaurant extension, Wine Street carpark, Sligo, in advance of redevelopment. Three machine- and hand-dug trenches revealed an overburden of post-medieval/modern fill up to 1m in depth across the site. Below this, archaeological soils of mixed origin, up to 0.3m deep, covered a discontinuous layer of light grey lime-rich soil. This layer appeared to constitute a significant archaeological horizon. However, no definitive dating evidence nor any clues as to its origin was recovered from it. It was cut in a number of places by later pits and gullies, one of which may be the remains of an original plot division.
