Groundwork relating to the construction of a 220/110kV transmission line by ESB International between substations at Flagford, Co. Roscommon, and Srananagh, Co. Sligo, was monitored. The work comprised the removal of topsoil where angle masts or intermediate pylons along the designated route were to be erected. All the monitoring took place at locations in County Sligo; the sites of two intermediate pylons were to be stripped near Boyle, Co. Roscommon, on 21 June, but access was denied by the landowner. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed at any of the monitored locations. Work on the project is expected to continue in 2006.
