Monitoring took place of groundworks associated with a development in the Bord na Móna bog at Srahmore and Attavally townlands, Co. Mayo. The development concerned the deposition of 400,000 cubic metres of peat excavated from the Enterprise Energy Ireland site in Bellanaboy, Co. Mayo, and involved the construction of an access roadway, administrative and reception areas, as well as surface water settlement ponds and associated drainage works. Nothing of archaeological interest was found during the course of monitoring, which took place from 14 December 2004 to 12 March 2005.
