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
