Monitoring took place at a quarry development at Rangue, Killorglin, from 29 July to 2 August 2002. Ground clearance activities at the site will be undertaken in phases over the coming years.
The first phase consisted of the clearance of a strip of bog c. 20m wide along the northern and southern boundaries of the site and a strip c. 10m wide along the eastern boundary. This work was undertaken primarily to facilitate the initial phase of bund construction along these boundaries. In addition, a number of existing open drains were cleared and widened, where required. The bog has been subjected to harvesting by hand over the years. As a result, the depth was found to range from 0.2m to 1.11m. No features or finds of archaeological interest were uncovered during the work.
