Testing and monitoring were carried out at Lettergunnet Wind Farm between September and December 2012. The development comprises 10 wind turbines, access roads, anemometry mast, sub-station, borrow pit and associated site works at Lettergunnet and Derrycrih, Co. Galway. Each turbine site was tested with the trenches generally arranged in a T-shape on the site of each crane pad, with a third trench on the footprint of the turbine itself. No archaeological material was found during testing or subsequent monitoring.
