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 Roslahan, Co. Mayo, it was proposed to erect a set of double poles c. 25m to the south-east of an enclosure and a steel tower c. 30m north of it. Testing was carried out on 23 August 2002. A single trench was excavated at the location of the proposed pole set. Topsoil and sod directly overlay boulder clay, and nothing of archaeological significance was noted.
