Monitoring of groundworks associated with the installation of lightning protection and the erection of a new fence for the early 12th-century round tower at Tullaherin required monitoring. While a moderate amount of disarticulated human bone and a small number of 17th–20th-century finds were retrieved during the works, no in situ burials or archaeological features were uncovered.
