Monitoring was undertaken of ground disturbance at Aghamore Near, Co. Sligo. The owners of the site had obtained planning permission to extend an existing quarry into a greenfield area. One of the conditions of planning required that all groundworks be monitored. A number of archaeological sites, as recorded in the RMP for County Sligo, are close to the site of the development. However, there was no recorded monument within the confines of the part of the site being extended in late 2000.
The topsoil was stripped in one field. Nothing of archaeological significance was found in the course of monitoring the removal of the topsoil.
