Abstract: |
A desk-top survey and two identification surveys were carried out ahead of the proposed costruction of a wind farm. The first identification survey was undertaken in June 1998 and examined the area of the proposed wind farm and the second, undertaken in December 1998, examined the proposed access routes. Some of the sites identified related to post-medieval pastoral agricultural exploitation, mostly field barns, but the majority related to coal extraction and small-scale quarrying. An old tramway and a brickworks were also studied. It was recommended that the positions of two of the turbines and an access route be altered slightly to allow for the protection of archaeological sites, but that if this was not possible, for mitigation recording to be undertaken. A watching brief over topsoil stripping was also requested. [Au(adp)] |
