Monitoring of groundworks was carried out at Bruckana Wind Farm, which straddles the borders of counties Kilkenny, Laois and Tipperary, between November 2012 and November 2013. Bruckana Bog has been operational since the early 1950s but most of it is now out of production. The wind farm development comprises 16 wind turbines, 10.5km of new access roads, drains, silt ponds and associated site works. No archaeological material was identified during monitoring.
