Archaeological monitoring of four geotechnical test pits was carried out pre-planning on behalf of Oriel Windfarm Ltd, relating to the proposed onshore substation location associated with the proposed Oriel Windfarm Project (offshore). The proposed substation site is located in Stickillin, Co. Louth, to the north of the N33 road and approximately 2km east of Ardee, Co. Louth.
The archaeological monitoring follows test trenching, carried out in 2021 under the same licence (excavations bulletin ref 2021:052), where archaeological remains representing burnt mound activity was uncovered.
Monitoring of the geotechnical test pits took place over one day and no features, finds or deposits of archaeological interest were identified in any of the test pits.
