Monitoring was undertaken during construction of a residential development. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed within the development footprint. Monitoring was also carried out on a wayleave to accommodate services to the south-east of the development site adjacent to the Ballyhooly Road. A fulacht fiadh/burnt mound measuring 7.5m north-south x 8m was found in low-lying rough ground adjacent to a small stream at the eastern end of the wayleave. The spread was not fully exposed and was preserved in situ. Further monitoring will be carried out as the development proceeds.
