The final phase of monitoring for a windfarm development at Faughary, Co. Leitrim was carried out over a period of five days in March, April and May 2014. Previous archaeological works at this site included pre-development testing at the sub-station and turbine locations in June 2009, and monitoring of excavations for crane pads and the road network in July 2009. This final phase of monitoring was concerned with excavation works at the turbine locations and ancillary works including road-widening at the site entrance. The average depth of peat cover at the three turbine locations was 0.6m. No archaeological material was found.
