Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and walkover survey was conducted to assess the potential impacts upon the Archaeology and Cultural Heritage resulting from the proposed insertion water mains, extending from from Trumaisgearraidh on North Uist (NGR: NF 87120 74490) to Aird Ma Ruibhe on Berneray (NGR: NF 91336 880161) a distance of approximately 8km. It is likely that the proposed works may impact directly upon the remains of archaeological features present within the study corridor. One hundred and fifty-four sites were identified within 300m of the proposed route of the new pipeline from a desk-based assessment and walkover survey. There is abundant indication that this area was occupied and exploited from as early as the Bronze Age period. One site has been identified that could potentially date to the Neolithic and two sites could potentially date to the Bronze Age period. |
