Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook archaeological monitoring on the enabling works, as part of a wider programme of archaeological works in advance of and during construction of Clyde wind farm, South Lanarkshire. Archaeological monitoring was conducted on excavations relating to construction of the access tracks, borrow pits, substation and drainage ditches across the windfarm. Several archaeological features were discovered all located on the western slopes of the Dod, close to the north substation where previous excavation revealed settlement of Bronze Age date. The archaeological features revealed during this phase of work comprise of a pit with burnt bone associated with collared urn pottery, along with two features containing burnt bone. The association of burnt bone and urn pottery is strongly suggestive that these are cremation deposits, although the bone cannot be conclusively identified as human. A small cairn close by the possible cremations may have had funerary significance. A further feature is interpreted as a charcoal production pit. |
