A programme of monitoring took place across a proposed development site at Donacarney Great. The site extended over 5.63 ha of fields in the north-west of Bettystown, which had previously been geophysically surveyed (Earthsound, 09R077), tested (McCarthy 09E0142) and excavated (Giacometti 09E0451; excavations ref 2010:517).
Three post-holes were identified during the monitoring, and fit into the overall prehistoric landscape excavated on this site in 2009-2010. In order to put the findings of the monitoring programme into context, it will be necessary to complete the outstanding post-excavation work associated with this development.
