Monitoring of a 5km wayleave associated with the laying of the Clareville to Newcastle rising main involved greenfield and roadway digging. The line of the pipe ran near Kilmurry church (SMR 5:26) and a possible barrow (6:59). Monitoring of the stripping of the greenfield site revealed a number of fulachta fiadh, which were excavated under licences 02E1347 (No. 1250, Excavations 2002), 02E1348 (No. 1124, Excavations 2002), 02E1403, excavated by Frank Coyne (No. 1125 above), and 02E1424, excavated by Tony Cummings (No. 1241, Excavations 2002). The trench excavations along the roadway did not reveal anything of an archaeological nature.
