Planning permission was granted by An Bord Pleanála, subject to compliance with the relevant planning conditions, for a 48-turbine wind farm at Keelderry. Construction works commenced on the site in 2007 and consisted of topsoil-stripping of the road network (monitoring was undertaken by another archaeological firm). Monitoring of site investigations was undertaken over one day in 2011. No monitoring of the remainder of the groundworks took place in 2011, as an extension to the planning lifetime of the site was granted to the client.
