Galway Wind Park is a wind farm cluster in Cloosh Valley that consists of four wind farms: Lettercraffroe, Uggool, Cloosh and Seecon. The site is located approximately 20km to the north-west of Galway City, 10km to the north-west of Moycullen and approximately 5km to the south-west of Oughterard. The overall site measures approximately 6km (east-west) by approximately 9km. Monitoring of all sub surface works associated with the development, including roads and turbine bases, was carried out in 2015.
No archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered during the course of monitoring. There was no impact on archaeological remains during this phase of construction works. It is proposed that monitoring of all subsurface works will continue during the ongoing construction works in 2016.
