  EirGrid PLC, with the consent and approval of the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), intends to apply for permission for works to uprate the existing Rinawade – Dunfirth Tee – Kinnegad 110kV overhead line (OHL). Within County Meath, the proposed development will take place within the following townlands: JARRETSTOWN, WALTERSTOWN, MOOR OF MEATH, RATHLEEK, GRANGE, BOGGANSTOWN, CAPPAGHCREEN, BROWNSTOWN, SALESTOWN, AFFOLLUS, KILGRAIGUE, HARRISTOWN, PORTERSTOWN, KILCLONE, KIMMINS, BARROCKSTOWN, BALLYMAGILLIN, MULHUSSEY, FERRESTOWN, RODANSTOWN, BATTERSTOWN, DOLANSTOWN, CALGATH, BALFEAGHAN, KILGLIN, FERRANS, CASTLEJORDAN, GORTNAHORNA, KILLASKILLEN, CLONGALL, KNOCKERSALLY OR COLEHILL. The Rinawade - Dunfirth Tee - Kinnegad 110 kV OHL circuit runs through County Meath, County Kildare and County Offaly. It is 54 km in length and travels from Kinnegad 110 kV substation in Killaskillen (County Meath) and traverses southeast where a short loop into Dunfirth 110 kV substation in Dunfirth (County Kildare) exists. The line then continues southeast where it terminates at Rinawade 110kV substation in Rinawade Lower (County Kildare). The OHL has a total of 249no. supporting structures. Within the functional area of Meath County Council, there is 23.16 km of the existing OHL circuit, with 107 no. structures. Within the functional area of Kildare County Council there is 30.66 km, with 140 no. structures, and within the functional area of Offaly County Council there is 0.42 km, with 2 no. structures. Separate planning applications will be lodged with Kildare County Council and Offaly County Council. The proposed development within Co. Meath will comprise: • the replacement (“restringing”) of the existing OHL circuit conductor wires with a new higher capacity conductor between structure numbers 1 - 37, 185 - 214, and 218 - 223; • the replacement of angle mast in-situ at 1no. location, with a new angle mast; • the strengthening of tower foundations at 3no. locations; • the strengthening of towers (i.e., member replacement) at 5no. locations; • the painting of towers at 7no. locations; • shear block remedial works of towers at 1no. locations; • the replacement of polesets at 38no. locations, with similar structures.

• KD004-039 Enclosure
  Description

  In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence no. 02E1002) of an early medieval enclosure was undertaken as part of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield-Kilcock Motorway Scheme. A large, heart-shaped area (diam. 60-70m) was defined by a ditch (av. Wth 2.5m; D 1.3m), generally U-shaped in profile, but V-shaped in its southern sections, which produced large amounts of metallurgical waste, some antler picks, animal bone (some butchered) and abundant fragments of mollusc shell. Two earlier ditches were excavated in the eastern extent of the site: an inner ditch which may have been an earlier manifestation of the main ditch that was subsequently abandoned in favour of a larger enclosing element, and an outer, L-shaped ditch which may have defined an enclosed area, perhaps for livestock. The interior of the site produced evidence of three houses (KD004-039001-, KD004-039002- and KD004-039003-) and a metalworking site (KD004-039004-).

  Description

  In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence no. 02E1002) of an early medieval enclosure (KD004-039----) was undertaken as part of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield-Kilcock Motorway Scheme. The interior of the site produced evidence of three structures (KD004-039001-, KD004-039002- and KD004-039003-) and a metalworking site (KD004-039004-). Structure B (KD004-039001-) was a large sub rectangular house structure measuring 8.5m east-west by 6m. This was defined by an irregular slot-trench with a maximum width of 0.5m and maximum depth of 0.29m. Finds from the fills of the slot included butchered bone and a whetstone. A small pit that cut the north-west corner of this structure contained two blue glass beads. An entrance was identified at the south-east corner of the structure that may have been protected from northern winds by a windbreak or an annexe defined by a curvilinear slot-trench oriented east-west from the entrance feature. Three regularly spaced stone-packed post-holes situated just off-centre to the structure may have held roof supports, and a hearth was represented by a shallow area of burnt clay, again just off-centre to the structure.

  Description

  In 2002, archaeological excavation (Licence no. 02E1002: www.excavations.ie) of an early medieval enclosure (KD004-039----) was undertaken as part of the M4 Kinnegad-Enfield-Kilcock Motorway Scheme. The interior of the site produced evidence of three structures (KD004-039001-, KD004-039002- and KD004-039003-) and a metalworking site (KD004-039004-). A number of metalworking areas were identified in the form of possible bowl furnaces and curvilinear gullies containing metallurgical waste. At the eastern side of the site a possible shaft furnace was tentatively identified. This feature had a distinctive figure-of-eight shape and contained high concentrations of slag waste and some furnace bottom. There was also evidence of in situ burning and large amounts of charcoal in one end of the feature. The charcoal would have been the primary fuel for the furnace. Most of the artefacts recovered were iron based. It is possible that the raw material for their manufacture came from a nearby bog in the form of bog iron. It appears that unprocessed bog iron was recovered from some features on-site, and it is hoped that further laboratory analysis will verify this. It is also possible that some of the artefacts found were manufactured on-site. The recovery of a possible mould/crucible, furnace bases and evidence of two or three tuyères from the site helps to strengthen this argument.
