Testing was carried out on a mountainous area for two weeks prior to the development of a windfarm project. The testing was carried out in a centre line for the haul road and platforms.

The project was to have continued for a period of three months but the client, the ESB, has halted the monitoring testing aspect of the project for the time being. It is believed that further testing will commence in 2016. At the end of this period of testing nothing of an archaeological or historical nature had been encountered.
