Monitoring was carried out at the rear of the Greville Arms Hotel, Main Street, Granard, Co. Longford, in December 2006, where it was proposed to construct a mixed-use development comprised of two blocks. Monitoring did not record the presence of any archaeological material in the development zone. It recorded a relatively uniform stratigraphy, which appeared to indicate that much of the area was composed of made-up artificially introduced ground.
