Abstract: |
Watching briefs were kept between 21 and 24 September 2009 during the refurbishment of an 11kv overhead power line at the south end of the Kintyre peninsula. Ten wooden poles were replaced, three stays added and two earth cable trenches dug at locations ranging between Keil, 1km W of Southend, to Culdrain, some 4km to its E. Pole and stay trenches measured typically 2m by 0.6m and 1.8m deep while the two cable trenches were 45-50m long, 0.6m wide and 0.6m deep. Pole trenches were located at: NR 72513 08723; NR 72607 08771; NR 71598 07955; NR 71367 07840; NR 70549 08602; NR 69378 09051; NR68441 08115; NR 68801 08002; NR 68858 67836; and NR 67985 08024. Stay trenches were located at: NR 72419 08663; NR 71648 08007; and NR 67985 08024. The earth cable trenches ran from NR 67985 08024 to NR 67943 08029 and from NR 67985 08024 to NR 68029 08050. Nothing of archaeological significance was found in any of the trenches. |
