The change in structures will result in standardised heights from 16 m to 24 m along the circuit. The majority of the height increases will be between 0.1 m and 2.0 m; ? the replacement of insulating and ancillary hardware at all structure locations; ? the replacement of earthwire between structure number 132 and structure number 144; ? the replacement of stay wire / anchors and associated fittings at 16no. locations; ? the replacement of crossarms at 58no. locations; ? all associated temporary site development works to gain access to the existing structures inclu

  EirGrid PLC, with the consent and approval of the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), intends to apply for permission for works to uprate the existing Cashla - Dalton 110 kV overhead line (OHL). Within County Mayo, the proposed development will take place within the following townlands: DALGAN DEMESNE, POLLBAUN, CARROWBEG WEST, GORTEENS, SEEFIN, BROOKHILL, CARROWMORE, BALLYHANKEEN, RUSHBROOK EAST, BALLYCUSHEEN, SCARDAUN WEST, MILLBROOK, MILFORD DEMESNE, CURRAGHADOOEY, LISDUFF, RATHGRANAGHER (MILLER), DRUMMIN WEST, CARROWBEG EAST, RATHGRANAGHER (LINDSAY), CROSSBOYNE, KILBEG-MALONE, DAVROS, DERRY, CLARE, GREAGHANS, COOLROE, ROOS, LEEDAUN The Cashla - Dalton 110 kV OHL circuit runs through County Galway and County Mayo. It is 57.7 km in length and travels from Cashla 110 kV substation in Barrettspark in central County Galway and traverses northwest to the Dalton 110 kV substation (County Mayo). The OHL has a total of 271no. supporting structures. Within the functional area of Mayo County Council, there is 24.7 km of the existing OHL circuit, with 111no. structures. Within the functional area of Galway County Council there is 33.0 km, with 160no. structures. Separate planning applications will be lodged with Galway County Council. The proposed development within Co. Mayo will comprise: • the replacement (“restringing”) of the existing OHL circuit conductor wires with a new higher capacity conductor between structure no. 160 and Dalton 110 kV substation; • the replacement of angle masts in-situ at 6no. locations, with similar structures; • the strengthening of tower foundations at 2no. locations; • the strengthening of towers (i.e., member replacement) at 6no. locations; • the painting of towers at 7no. locations; • shear block remedial works of a tower at 1no. location; • the replacement of polesets at 83no. locations, with similar structures. The change in structures will result in standardised heights from 16 m to 23 m along the circuit. The majority of the height increases will be between 0.1 m and 2.0 m (at 70no. structures), with 12no. structure replacements resulting in no change in height. Structure no. 263 will increase in height by 7.0m; • the replacement of insulating and ancillary hardware at all structures from structure no. 161 to 271; • the replacement of earthwire between structure no. 261 and structure no. 271; • the replacement of stay wire / anchors and associated fittings at 7no. locations; • the replacement of crossarms at 7

• MA119-027 Enclosure
  Description

  In level, lowlying pasture; views are quite good to NW−NE, but in general are not extensive. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 45-50m) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The remains consist of an oblong earthen platform (48m NNW-SSE; 45m ENE-WSW) defined by a broadly sloping scarp (Wth slope 2.6m, H 0.4m at W; Wth slope 4m, H 0.65m at E) which retains a slightly raised internal lip at SE and S. The N arc of the scarp (H 0.3m) has been levelled to a low broadly sloping rise/undulation. Outside the scarp, an infilled fosse (W 2.5-3m) is evident as a shallow surface depression. At E the scarp has a pronounced slump extending over the fosse. This may be the remnants of an entrance causeway (W c. 4m). The scarp at NW−E is distinctly curvilinear in plan, but the S end of the E side, the S side and the S end of the W side are linear, with rounded corners at SE and SW. The straight sides raise the possibility that this is the remains of a moated site. However, the N end of the enclosure is clearly curvilinear and the enclosure is depicted as circular on the 1838 map, suggesting that it is a rath, which was modified and partly levelled in the past. A field fence/ property boundary traverses the NW end of the site on an ENE-WSW axis. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 23 June 2023

• MA119-029 Earthwork
  Description

  In lowlying, damp pasture; good views. The 1915 OS 6-inch map shows an arc (diam. c. 20m) of hachuring curving S−NE, possibly the W half of an originally circular enclosure, with a linear rock feature extending for 65m to W from its S end; it is not shown on earlier map editions. At ground level there is no visible trace of any feature corresponding to the hachured arc. The E−W linear rock feature consists of a raised seam/ridge of limestone bedrock, with evidence of extensive past quarrying along its length resulting in very uneven ground, mounds and hollows and exposed vertical and horizontal planes of limestone. Remnants of a field boundary –part earthen, part stone walling – extends E−W along the top of the bedrock seam. Traces of at least three perpendicular field boundaries extend to S from this.

• MA119-044 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture, on a NW-SE ridge, with good views over Carras Lough to E. Depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, and on the 1915 edition as a penannular embanked enclosure, open to E and crossed centrally on a NE-SW axis by a field boundary. This enclosure (diam. 42m) was levelled during land reclamation work in the late 1990’s. A slightly sunken farm track, flanked by field fences, crosses it centrally on a NE-SW axis. When inspected in 2000, the outline of the levelled bank was apparent as a circular cropmark in the fields on either side of the trackway. Part of the levelled bank on the SW arc is visible as a rise in the floor of the trackway. The rise (Wth c. 12m; H 0.7m) spans the width of the track. In line with it, a portion of the bank (W c. 5m NE−SW; H 1.2m) is preserved in section in the field fence on the N side of the track. Another rise (H 1m; Wth slope 7m) at the NE end of the trackway, where it intersects with a tarred road, is less clearly defined but probably also represents a portion of the NE arc of the levelled bank. There is a possible enclosure (MA119-073----) c. 15m to NNW. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 August 2023
