The proposed development comprises 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). At Brownhall Demesne, Co. Mayo, it was proposed to erect a set of double poles near an enclosure. Testing was carried out on 23 August 2002. A single trench was excavated at the proposed location of the pole set. Topsoil and sod directly overlay a mottled grey/orange boulder clay. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
