Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation works was undertaken in respect of the construction of a new wind farm at Bankend Rig, South Lanarkshire (bordering East Ayrshire). Works consisted of an archaeological presence on site to advise regarding location of fencing for preservation of archaeological/cultural heritage sites identified by the previous chapter in the Environmental Impact Assessment, Annex A, Cultural Heritage in 2006. Archaeological monitoring works were also undertaken with regards to the ground reduction/soft sediment excavation in preparation for the construction of the access road and additional works on site relating to infrastructure concerning the wind turbines and the access road. Monitoring works on site revealed only sterile drift geology and disturbance relating to modern use of the area. Cessation of monitoring works occurred in certain areas, prior to their completion, due to a demonstrable absence of significant archaeology within similar adjacent landscapes within the footprint of the new wind farm development. |
