Abstract: |
Watching briefs were kept on 12 May and 1 October 2009 at points along the proposed route of a pipeline, some 1.6km long, for a new hydro-electric scheme at Inverliever. This work followed a desk study and walk-over survey undertaken in 2008 (DES 2008, 42). The watching briefs were concentrated in two stretches of the pipe route: Area 1 at its S end; and Area 2 near the main intake point. Area 1 Trenching was supervised for 100m between NM 89592 05735 and NM 89574 05812 to the S of Inverliever Lodge, within a field that contained the remains of several pre-Improvement, structures. The only feature of interest in the trench was a spread of stones, perhaps debris from two demolished structures at NM 8961 0577 and NM 8960 0572. A short distance to the E of the trench, and parallel with it, was an old track, visible occasionally as a grass-covered strip and probably contemporary with some of the nearby structures. Area 2 Two features were investigated towards the N end of the pipeline. At NM 89233 06630 was an irregular mound which proved to be spoil from the recent construction of a nearby track. Of more interest was a level platform, measuring roughly 4m by 4m, on the E bank of the River Liever, at NM 89574 05812. A few boulders were set into the edge of the river but otherwise there was no indication of structural features. The platform is almost certainly not a natural feature and is interpreted as a house platform of unknown age. |
