Planning permission was granted to the ESB for the construction of an overhead 38kV line at Castlelyons and Derrigra, Enniskean, Co. Cork. A condition of planning required that a buffer zone of 6m be established between a line pole pit and a nearby school and that all ground disturbance on the site be monitored. The buffer zone was established to the east of the monument. Topsoil was removed by machine to a depth of c. 0.25m in an area c. 0.5m2. Rock was encountered at this depth and a rock breaker was used to achieve the required depth for the trench. No archaeological finds or features were noted on the site.
