The proposed development at Meenalaban will involve the construction of nine wind turbines/crane bases, an ESB substation and access roads on a hilltop north of Ballybofey. The site is partially forested. The terrain is very rough and consists of blanket bog with some outcrops of bedrock. No potential archaeological features were identified during the field inspection process, although the nature of the terrain meant the field inspection was hardly definitive. There are no known archaeological sites in the vicinity. All excavation works associated with road construction, turbine and crane bases were monitored. There was no evidence of archaeological activity found anywhere on the site.
