Monitoring and testing associated with the development of a six turbine windfarm in the townlands of Cashel, Spaddan, Legaltan, Tollymore, Ballynaglogh and Two Mile Stone in County Donegal revealed no artefacts or features of archaeological significance. The stratigraphy encountered for the excavation of roadways, turbine bases, substation, hardstands and cable trenches revealed bedrock directly below the topsoil in the vast majority of the site. Elsewhere a silty clay was uncovered below the topsoil.
