The proposed development comprised the construction of 57.3km of overhead lines from Castlebar, Co. Mayo, to Cloon, south-west of Tuam, Co. Galway (No. 702, Excavations 2002, 02E0956). It was proposed to erect a set of double poles near an enclosure at Ballinlassa. The enclosure has been severely truncated by the road that separates it from the proposed pole set. The location of the proposed pole set had been disturbed in recent times. Testing was carried out on 23 August 2002. A single trench was excavated. Topsoil and sod directly overlay orange boulder clay. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
