Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during groundworks for the construction of the Ardentraive Hydro Scheme to the north of Colintraive. The watching brief targeted the lower altitude improved and semi-improved ground, as well as two locations on the higher moorland ground where the penstock pipeline crossed two field banks. One of the field banks was used in conjunction with the steep natural escarpment above the Milton Burn in order to form a large irregular enclosure, while the other field bank may have been associated with a vestigial area of rig-and-furrow cultivation which lay just outwith the watching brief area. Sections were recorded through the field banks, but there were no other features, deposits or artefacts of cultural heritage interest identified. |
