Monitoring of broadband installation was undertaken over a ten-week period from September 2006. The work involved the excavation of a trench 0.55–0.6m wide and 0.8m deep to facilitate the installation of broadband cables in the area of Clifden town. The trenches were excavated in the streets surrounding the town centre and roadways in the vicinity of the town. Excavations revealed no features of archaeological significance.
