Monitoring of excavations associated with the north-east broadband project, Phase II, in Bailieborough was carried out from August to October 2006. The excavation phase of the project involved the opening of a series of trenches throughout the town centre and its hinterland. All of the trenches were located along roads, either in the carriageway proper or in the adjoining verge or footpath. There were no river crossings other than at existing bridges. The trenches were 0.6m wide and were excavated to a standard depth of 0.9m in carriageways and 0.6m in verges/footpaths. Junction boxes (1.25m2) were excavated where two or more trenches intersected, and at regular intervals along long straight sections. A total of 4987m of trenches were excavated during the course of the project. No archaeological features, finds or deposits were uncovered.
