The proposed development at Corderry is to consist of an ESB substation and related access. There are no known monuments in the area. All excavation work, which took place in May 2004, was carried out by machine and was monitored. The topsoil consisted of a light-brown clay with small stones. It ranged between 0.15m and 0.25m deep, being deeper to the south. This layer rested on natural subsoil consisting of a light-grey/brown compact clay. There was no evidence of any archaeological activity on the site.
