Monitoring was carried out at the site of a proposed park and ride facility serving the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre. The site was located on a steep hillside in Liscannor townland on the outskirts of Liscannor village. The groundworks had been planned for 2010 but began in October 2014, continuing sporadically until September 2015. Following monitoring in October 2014 which had revealed two large burnt stone spreads alongside two smaller deposits of burnt stone, monitoring in January 2015 revealed a further part of one of the large burnt stone spreads and a few smaller patches of burnt stone. Further monitoring in September 2015 revealed no additional archaeological remains. The archaeological features were excavated in November 2014 and January 2015 and the results are detailed in the 2014 entry
