Monitoring of groundworks for a three-turbine wind farm at Shannagh and Kilcar, Co. Donegal, took place over the course of eight weeks from March to May 2009. The monitoring was undertaken on foot of a condition of planning from An Bord Plean$la. The development site lies within Shannagh townland, on the eastern slopes of the Ballaghdoo River valley in south-west Donegal. Whilst there are no RMP sites within the development area, four lie within 3km. Nothing of archaeological interest was noted during the monitoring works.
