The development involved the construction of a 5km-long overhead electricity line on a combination of wooden poles and steel masts. It was agreed in consultation with Mr Gerry Walsh, Mayo County Council Archaeologist, that monitoring of all groundworks should be carried out in Carrownaglogh townland between the northern end of a north-east/south-west-running bog road and a north-west/south-east-running third-class road. This area of land-take measured approximately 400m in length north-east/south-west and was considered appropriate for monitoring owing to the presence of MA031-049, the extensive remains of east/west-aligned pre-bog walls, located approximately 140m west, at its nearest point, of the proposed development area.
Fieldwork took place intermittently between 9 May and 16 June 2011, and in total took twelve and a half days to complete. No archaeological features or artefacts were revealed as a result of monitoring.
