2007:1546 - SLIGO: Bridge Street, Sligo

The proposed development site is located to the rear of three small terraced buildings, fronting on to Bridge Street and adjacent to Shananigan’s pub, Sligo town. The site is located just north of the Garavogue River on the east side of Bridge Street. The site lies within the zone of archaeological potential for the medieval town of Sligo (SL014–065). The site is bordered to the north, south and east by commercial premises. Two trenches measuring 10m by 1m were excavated across the only portions of the site that will be subjected to excavation as part of the proposed development. The trenches were excavated to the level of undisturbed natural. There was no evidence of archaeological activity.
