Abstract: |
An Archaeological Survey was required by Forestry Commission Scotland to inform the new haul road within Whitelee forest, East Renfrewshire. The survey was designed to enhance the existing baseline on the historic environment along the route of the proposed haul road. This survey targeted 11 specific historic environment sites. Only two of the sites could be identified during a walkover survey of the ground. Sites 4 and 7 were turf banks which represented boundaries depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey of 1863. They both appeared to have been quite well preserved having been avoided by the surrounding tree planting, and no bracken overlying the sites was present. Site 4 did however appear to have evidence for animal burrowing directly into it at its northern end, and the presence of trees sitting tight to its edges along some of its length suggested the possibility that root disturbance may be occurring which isn't visible on the surface. The remaining nine sites could not be located, and appeared to sit within mature dense forestry which could not be accessed. The open areas sitting adjacent to their locations were surveyed and no traces were present. If there are any remains still present at these sites, it is very likely that they will have been impacted upon by ploughing and the subsequent planting of the trees. T Rees 2015. |
