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 double poles was to be erected near the walled garden of Elmhall House, Elmhall, Co. Mayo. The wall is substantial and in places stands up to 3.5m high. Testing was carried out on 24 August 2002. A single trench was excavated. Topsoil and sod directly overlay bedrock. Nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
