Monitoring was carried out at Drumlonagher townland, Co. Donegal, between 11 and 12 March 2003. The proposed development involves the excavation of a 260m-long trench to facilitate the installation of an underground electricity line between Pole 1 and the existing 38kV ESB substation at Drumlonagher, Donegal town.
The site consists of a poorly drained low-lying field sloping naturally from the south to the north bounded on all sides by a bank and hedgerow. The field fronts onto the N15. Monitoring produced nothing of archaeological significance. Eight modern pottery sherds were retrieved from directly beneath the topsoil. The finds included fragments of a stoneware jar, a number of willow pattern and white ware sherds and glass fragments.
