Abstract: |
NR 79350 38510; NR 79280 38468 - NR 74450 35040 A watching brief was kept at the site of a proposed extension to a power station 2km W of Carradale and a walk-over survey was carried out along the proposed route of a power cable between the power station and a new windfarm on Beinn an Tuirc. The watching brief was maintained during August and September 2009 when topsoil and other modern materials were removed from an area measuring 62m by 61m which was bounded on its E by the existing power station and on its W by the Carradale Water. Previous work along and near the river bank had uncovered evidence of occupation ranging from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. Up to 0.5m of peaty topsoil overlay clay and fine sand, all of which were waterlogged at the time of the investigation. The only features uncovered were of recent date or of natural origin. |
