Abstract:		 An archaeological assessment was undertaken of the proposed wind farm site. The desk-based study established that this upland area waes the subject of parlimentary enclosure in the late 18th/early 19th centuries, and prior to this the area was open common. The study identified a number of sites around the edges of the study boundary, including a barkpeeler's hut and a charcoal pitstead, but only one site was documented within the study area, a gravel pit. An identification survey identified 10 sites across the study area, including a small cultivated plot and two isolated putative clearance cairns. Although these features were inherently undatable, there was the possibility that they had a prehistoric origin. There was also the possibliility that there were futher archaeological features below ground. [Au(abr)]
