Monitoring of broadband installation was undertaken over a period of four months from July 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 Gort town. The trenches were excavated through the streets of the town and the surrounding area. Traces of a 19th-century stone culvert were found along the north side of Bridge Street. Excavations throughout the remainder of the town and the streets on the outskirts revealed no features of archaeological significance.
