The Derry City Walls are the only complete ones of their kind in Ireland. They were built between 1613 and 1618 to protect the new English and Scottish settlers who moved to Ulster as part of the Plantation of Ulster. Along the walls, there are 22 restored cannons from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, the four original gates – Bishop’s Gate, Ferryquay Gate, Shipquay Gate and Butcher Gate, and three newer additions – Magazine Gate, Castle Gate and New Gate.

A major archaeological dig close to Derry's famous Walls is underway. The week-long excavation which began on Wednesday focuses on a grassy bank at Nailors Row, overlooking the city's Bogside, which is believed to be a 17th century defensive ditch. In 2013, the last time an archaeological dig took place in the city, a number of skeletons, thought to date back to the 17th Century, were uncovered at a site within the walls. #Derry #derrynews #derrynow #countyderrypost #derrypost | Derry Now

Depicting one of Derry City’s historic gates, part of the 17th century city walls. Ferryquay Gate marks an important route from the river Foyle up into town. I hope the piece acts as a little pause between the present city and its layered history!
