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). A set of poles was to be erected in the townland of Caltragh, west of Claremorris, in Knocknacaltragh burial-ground. Access to the site is gained at the north-east from the road leading north from the main Claremorris to Ballinrobe road. Testing was carried out on 27 July 2002. A single trench was excavated. Topsoil and sod directly overlay bedrock. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
