Athenry,

This
survey was carried out in collaboration
with Archaeophysica Ltd,
a specialist geophysical survey
company working on behalf of the
Galway County Council and the NRA.
Various transects along the line
of the proposed Galway to Ballinasloe
(N6) Road scheme were surveyed using
magnetometry. In order to achieve
the minimum required level of
locational accuracy ( +/- 10 mm) a Trimble
RTK GPS base station and rover
unit were employed by us
to stake out the
transects. |

Along
the way we found some
very well preserved ringworks and
a rare example of a souterrain,
or underground burial chamber,
as well as some very curious
sheep and lots of vicious
electric fences! |
