Monitoring was carried out on 10 and 19 October 2005 for the ESBI on the Citywest to Saggart 110kV line diversion. The line diversion was undertaken to facilitate the construction of an apartment development at the junction of Garterstown Lane and Fortunestown Lane at Saggart, Co. Dublin. The development consisted of four new lattice steel towers. It commenced on the existing line some 250m north of the centre of Saggart village, running north-east for a distance of 500m passing close to the junction of Garterstown Lane and Fortunestown Lane. The development runs within the boundary line of SMR 21:34, the medieval village of Saggart, and is also close to the western end of SMR 21:32, a buried field system of probable medieval or earlier date. No finds or features of archaeological interest were found during the construction of the towers.
