The proposed development involves the laying of a 16km-long underground ESB cable between two wind farms, covering several townlands between Cunghill and Kingsmountain. Four ringforts, a barrow and a souterrain are situated within 100m of the cable route, none closer than 40m. In addition, much of the cable route was along existing public and forestry roads, where the potential for archaeological remains surviving is low. Only one potential archaeological feature was revealed along the entire route, a burnt deposit excavated under licence 02E1740 (No. 1639, Excavations 2002).
