Monitoring of the groundworks associated with new ESB poles at Cooldrinagh, Leixlip, Co. Dublin, took place over two days in October 2007. The site was in the vicinity of a megalithic tomb. Six pits were excavated for poles and eight associated stay-holes were also excavated, as well as two associated cable trenches. The ground excavated consisted of made ground, and no archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were exposed during the course of the excavations.
