Monitoring of Phase 2 of the groundworks at Rangue, Killorglin, Co. Kerry, was carried out from 7 to 10 March 2005. The site consists of 5.2ha of land, much of which is covered by a blanket bog. The development involves the phased clearance and excavation of a sand and gravel quarry. Although no archaeological features were located on the site in the course of Phase 1 of monitoring (Excavations 2004, No. 777), the large nature of the development necessitated monitoring of all groundworks. Nothing of archaeological significance was discovered as a result of this phase of the works.
