Monitoring was carried out of groundworks before the construction of a wind farm at Carnsore Point, Co. Wexford. There were a number of archaeological sites within the confines of the development, such as St Vogue’s early ecclesiastical site (SMR 53:35) and the site of a megalithic tomb (SMR 53:37).
Four features were uncovered during the monitoring. An arc was found at the switch-yard and remains unexcavated. A small pit and a burnt spread were uncovered during the excavation of the cable trench connecting the turbines at the east of the site, and a Neolithic pit was excavated under a separate licence at Turbine Base 7 (No. 1927, Excavations 2002, 02E0434).
