The fifth season of the development for a hotel, housing, apartments and a golf-course and the restoration of Castledargan House in a demesne landscape with various archaeological monuments at Castledargan and Carrigeenboy, Ballygawley, Co. Sligo, was monitored. The finalising of the groundworks to enhance the overall development for the golf-course continued throughout 2007 but did not require archaeological intervention. Some works requiring archaeological intervention still have to take place.
