Abstract: |
Scottish and Southern Energy commissioned SUAT to undertake an archaeological walkover survey along the route of an 11KV overhead line on Harris. The line, which runs from NG 13 94 near Stockinish to NG 04 83 at Rodel is over 30Km long, and is due to be refurbished early in 2009. The walkover was carried out by one SUAT archaeologist and one Scottish and Southern engineer between the 29th September and the 2nd of October 2008 in wet conditions. The main aim was to look for any new sites or existing archaeological sites (from the SMR) that were in danger of being damaged by the proposed refurbishment and to provide mitigation strategies. Over 50 new sites were discovered in the walkover, including abandoned houses, field systems and areas of cultivation. Though many of these sites dated from the 19th century, at least three low-lying structures could be much earlier. No further archaeological work is recommended, but various mitigation measures are proposed to protect archaeological sites during the engineering works. The SUAT site code was RG01 |
