Monitoring was carried out in February 2005 in relation to a retail and residential development at No. 5 Church Street, Strabane, Co. Tyrone. The development is located within the centre of Strabane town, measures 29.3m north-west/south-east by 17.2m and is surrounded by commercial and residential buildings. The site was previously occupied by a derelict two-storey building, with associated outhouses to the rear.
Monitoring was required primarily for the excavation of foundation trenches for the new build. The foundation trenches did not reveal any remains of archaeological significance. No evidence of activity earlier than 19th/20th century was uncovered during the site evaluation.
