Schoolchildren and members of the public will join archaeologists to explore a site close to the city's walls.
The first archaeological dig in Londonderry city centre for more than a decade begins on Wednesday at a site close to the city's historic walls.
Niall McCaughan, from FDW, said the dig would hopefully “add another layer to the story of one of the island of Ireland’s most historic cities". “You might think it’s just a ditch around the walls, but of course that was another defensive mechanism,” he said.
