Abstract: |
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook a series of archaeological mitigation works in advance of, and during, construction work for a grid connector cable in Clackmannanshire linking Burnfoot Hill Windfarm to the National Grid. Several sites of cultural heritage significance had been identified along the route of the cable and mitigation work involved a photographic survey, erection of barrier fencing around the sites and toolbox talks for construction staff on-site. A new site was identified during this work consisting of a turf bank field boundary. The cable route followed the line of an existing trackway that had largely been cut deeply into hillside bedrock. A watching brief was undertaken along points of the route that had not been as affected by the construction of the track, and in areas where known sites were adjacent to the route. Further mitigation involved an archaeological watching brief during work for site access, a temporary compound, switching station and electricity cable. No sites of archaeological significane were encountered, but work in the switching station area revealed two segments of a stone-lined drain with remains of course stone capping. |
