Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on 15.4.14 using a 20 ton tracked machine with 1.8m ditching bucket for the topsoil strip for a proposed wind turbine base and cabling trenches. All the trenches were 3m wide and the base for the turbine was 4 x 4m in size. The SW trench and the turbine base were excavated in relatively unimproved hill pasture on a steep NNW facing slope on the south side of the valley. There were numerous linear and circular earthworks, caused according to the owner of the Castle by tree planting and felling after WWI. The topsoil was less than 5cm thick in this area and the subsoil was fragmented stone. The NE trench was excavated through a ploughed field. The topsoil was 0.5m deep at the NE end of the trench and shallowed to 0.25m at the SW end of the field.
