Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigative works was required by RSK Environment Ltd on behalf of their clients in respect to the construction of the Hunterston Converter and Substation, West Kilbride, North Ayrshire (N/11/00708/PPPM). The archaeological works were designed to determine the archaeological potential of the development area and hence inform the specification for mitigation of the impact on the archaeological remains within the development area. The investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation which was designed to assess an 8% sample of the proposed development area. The works were carried out in three stages; the initial two stages of the evaluation defined four areas of interest (A-D) which were subsequently investigated by process of Strip, Map and Sample exercises, monitoring, and the final (third) stage of the evaluation. The first two stages of the investigative works consisted of a total of 106 evaluation trenches. The third and last stage of the evaluation consisted of the excavation of 7 full trenches. The works were carried out intermittently from 1st July 2013 to 31st March 2014. The last stage of the evaluation recorded several anthropic features which were recent and agricultural in origin. These three stages of the evaluation works are a single part of a series of works which were carried out by Rathmell Archaeology Ltd at Hunterston Converter and Substation. |
