In advance of a new ship-chandler retail unit at 56 Irish Quarter West, Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim, the foundations for the proposed new building were excavated under supervision. A number of layers were identified but none were of any archaeological significance.
Editor’s note: Although this licence was issued during 2005, the report on the work was not received in time for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
