Dublin City Council commissioned an art installation, ‘Sound Bridge’, to be located close to the river bank in the War Memorial Gardens. The artwork required the installation of a 270m length of speaker cable 0.1m below the present grass level. Monitoring took place of the shallow narrow trench, the contents of which consisted of redeposited topsoil. No archaeology was found.
