Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were undertaken at Muirhall Windfarm, South Lanarkshire in advance of the erection of six new wind turbines and associated access. The development area is located in an extensive upland bog environment within which are surviving examples of rig and furrow cultivation, suggesting that the area has not been subject to excessive recent development. Other evidence of human activity in the immediate area of the turbine sites appears to be exclusively associated with attempts to drain or improve the land for grazing livestock. Potential for subsurface archaeology was identified as possible pre-historic activity pre-dating the incursion of the blanket bog which characterises the area. |
