It is proposed to construct an inner relief road along a disused railway line that ran around the eastern side of Buncrana town. The archaeological impact assessment revealed evidence of the cut-and-fill construction methods employed in the construction of the railway. Owing to the impact of the railway, nothing of archaeological interest survived.
