Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological mitigation works at Ray Windfarm, Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland was carried out. Three of the six known cairns were investigated and removed by the development. A further fifty-eight sites of archaeological interest were identified. Twenty-eight of these were investigated and excavated, therefore preserving thirty sites in situ. The majority of the features recorded and/or excavated are likely to relate to post-medieval use of the landscape for agricultural and industrial purposes. However, a number of lithic finds suggest earlier prehistoric activity across the site, dating from the Late Mesolithic to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The most significant find was a small lithic scatter on Spur 8 dating to the Late Mesolithic. The lithic scatter is of a small size and extent and it most likely represents a few stops to make new tools or re-sharpen, maintain or use existing tools.
