Monitoring was carried out as part of an extension to the Ballinasloe Landfill Site. A bund wall, under construction, required the bulk extraction of peat to a depth of c. 3m. The bund wall was c. 3m wide and a 150m stretch was completed during the early stages of this development. Monitoring uncovered no archaeological features or deposits.
