Monitoring of topsoil-stripping works associated with the construction of the compound for a proposed development site across the Foyle River (The Peace Bridge), Derry, was undertaken during 17–25 November 2009, and in relation to a proposed development site located across the Foyle River, from the quay wall adjacent to the junction of Foyle embankment and Whittaker Street to Ebrington embankment, comprising the construction of a self-anchored suspension bridge. No previously unidentified archaeological features, remains or deposits were identified during this phase of monitoring works at the site. Further phases of monitoring will be undertaken in association with the excavation of the east and west bridge abutments and the terrestrial bridge support located within the compound area.
