Monitoring was carried out in the townland of Killult, Falcarragh, Co. Donegal, on 14 August 2001. The development entailed the erection of an ESB electricity pole. The site is on high ground to the west of Falcarragh village, overlooking Ballyness Strand, and near a burial-ground.

Excavations were carried out at the location of the pole. Topsoil and sod overlay a light brown, loose silty sand and schist bedrock. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted during the course of monitoring.
