Excavations at Dromthacker were undertaken on behalf of the Institute of Technology, Tralee, before the development of a new campus (Excavations 1997, 85–6, Excavations 1998, 97–8). Part of the planning conditions requires that all ground disturbance be monitored, and as a consequence of this the excavation of ESB trench cables was monitored in August and December 1999. No archaeological feature or find was uncovered during monitoring.
