Archaeological monitoring took place of exploratory groundworks and main work trenching associated with Uisce Éireann’s (UÉs) Water Network Programme undertaken at Strandhill, Co. Sligo. The monitoring followed a cultural heritage screening assessment which found that the proposed main pipeline would impact the Zone of Notification (ZoN) of a ringfort (SL014-068). Monitoring was also proposed for ancillary works (connection service transfers) that may impact the ZoNs of two other Recorded Monuments: a ringfort (SL013-034001) and a souterrain (SL013-034002); as well as the constraints area of settlement hearth (SL013-109). As a precaution, works were monitored in the vicinity of a Cultural Heritage (CH) site (cottage, NIAH Reg. No. 32401409).
The monitoring was carried out on 3 February, 27–28 June, 19 September and 10–11 October 2022. No potential archaeological finds, features, deposits or human remains were noted during monitoring.
