The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains (ICLVR) wishes to carry out an investigation of a site located in the Slieve Beagh uplands at Bragan, Co. Monaghan. The site has been identified as the possible location of remains of the victims of violence in Northern Ireland - the ‘Troubles.’  The proposed investigation may be summarised thusly:

• Mobilising of 2 no. excavating machines to site
• The placement of bog mats as working platforms for the excavators
• Setting out of pegs to establish a search grid
• The excavation of strips of peat in short sections
• The examination of excavated areas by a forensic archaeologist
• Reinstatement of excavated peat and/or clay materials
