Monitoring was undertaken at the site of a single pole-set on the route of the Cahir–Garrancanty 110kV line, in compliance with a condition of the planning permission for the project. The site is in the north-east corner of a field, c. 30m south-west of a possible enclosure. The pastureland in which the site is located slopes gently downwards to the River Suir, c. 250m south of the site.
The erection of the pole-set required the excavation of two foundation trenches. These trenches were c. 3.1m long (east–west) by 1.2m wide and had a maximum depth of 2.8m. The integrity and stability of the edges of the trenches was such that some collapsing/subsidence occurred. This led to the final width of the trenches extending unevenly beyond the 1.2m excavated.
No material of archaeological significance was uncovered.
