Monitoring took place in March 2001 of a development at Illaunamanagh Point, Tullyvarraga, Shannon, Co. Clare. The development site was a new municipal cemetery and burial-ground, covering a roughly oval area of 6.45ha with an adjoining triangular area, both linked by a farm road. The site is close to a number of known archaeological monuments and borders the River Shannon. Monitoring was carried out of all groundworks, which consisted of the removal of topsoil from the burial-ground area and adjacent link road, widening of an existing lane from the road to the burial-ground, and the construction of a temporary carpark in front of the site.
Monitoring revealed nothing of archaeological significance within the development area.
