Monitoring was undertaken of groundworks associated with the construction of three turbine bases and associated access tracks, forming an extension to an existing wind farm at Curraghgraigue Upper, Templederry. The development was located in the vicinity of monuments TN027–090 TN027–093, TN027–094, and TN027–097. Monitoring of previous development of the wind farm, carried out by Tracy Collins (03E1398), had uncovered a previously unrecorded Bronze Age flat cemetery, which was excavated by Frank Coyne (Excavations 2004, No. 1596, 04E0245). Nothing of an archaeological nature was observed during the monitoring of this phase of the development.
