The works comprised archaeological monitoring during site investigation (SI) works associated with the Rising Main Upgrade from Fahan Pumping Station to Buncrana Wastewater Treatment Plant, Buncrana, County Donegal. The archaeological works included the archaeological monitoring of the excavation of SI slit trench ST6-4-018, which was situated within the Zone of Notification associated with Flat Cemetery (DG038-009----) at Figary, Fahan.
