Abstract: |
A walkover was carried out on 2 April 2013; the weather was bright with light snow flurries and there were patches of snow remaining on the hill. Twelve archaeological sites were recorded in the area of the proposed wind turbine bases and cabling as well as in the area intended for vehicular access (Illus 4). The area is a NE facing slope with a tarred road round around the east and north-east of the area formed to allow access by Scottish Water to the reservoir to the north of the site. The ground is very stony with outcrops of granite and quartz. A watching brief was also maintained on 5 June 2013 on the access track, turbine Base 1 and the cable track. The topsoil in Base 1 and the access track was a maximum of 0.2m deep and was a well-drained sandy loam with sand and gravel natural subsoil. The cable track was up to 0.3m deep at the SE end near the field boundary but the remainder of the cable track revealed that there was virtually no topsoil in the area of F10, F11 and F12. No archaeological features were recorded in the cable trench which had been located on an old track in the hope that no archaeological features would be disturbed during this work. |
