Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were appointed by babyHydro Ltd on behalf of Annet Burn Hydro Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring during ground breaking works associated with the construction of a small scale hydroelectric power scheme at Milton Glen, near Callander. The scheme is sited on the north slopes above Loch Venachar in the Stirling Council area, but within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Development includes construction of an intake (weir) in the burn; trenching and burying of a penstock (high pressure pipe); construction of a powerhouse; construction of a tailrace to return the water to the burn; and a connection to the Grid. The archaeological monitoring followed the completion of an archaeological assessment in 2014 which identified a mill lade, an area of rig and furrow and two head dykes which would be impacted by development. The assessment also identified the possibility of prehistoric remains surviving along the route. No previously unrecorded archaeologically significant deposits or artefacts were recovered during the project. The rig and furrow was recorded, as were the head dykes, while the lade was shown to be simple, deep cut channel. |
