Test excavation was undertaken with regard to a planning application to construct a secondary substation at Leanamore Windfarm, Gurteenavallig townland in North Kerry. A series of nine test trenches (T1-T9), extending for a total of 381.4m, 1m in width and 10m spacing, was excavated across the footprint of the proposed secondary substation and associated access way. The land entirely comprises a thin sod covering on top of bog that varied in depth in the trenches from a low of 0.3m in T5 to a maximum of 3.6m>. At several locations sondages were briefly opened for investigative purposes. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were noted in any of the test trenches.
