Monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of two wind farms at Inchincoosh and Lettercannon, Co. Kerry, was undertaken over a period of four months. The groundworks largely consisted of the removal of peat deposits to facilitate the construction of access roads and turbine bases. No archaeological finds, features or deposits were uncovered during monitoring however a previously unrecorded possible hut site and possible collapsed megalithic tomb were noted in the vicinity of Turbine 8 at Lettercannon wind farm and were excluded from all development.
