A contract was placed on 1 March, 2007 for a measured survey and record of Conolly's Folly. The completion of this survey will inform the level of conservation work required at the site, and will facilitate the preparation of the necessary documentation for this work. It will only be possible to estimate the level of expenditure required to conserve the site once the aforementioned survey is complete. I expect that work on the survey will commence in the very near future.
