Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services conducted an archaeological evaluation of fifteen trenches on land at the proposed Harrington Wind Farm. The evaluation revealed a series of ditches dating from the middle to late Iron Age to the east of the reservoir in Area C (Turbine 6) and one gully which is possibly slightly later in Trench 15, the site of the proposed compound. A number of undated ditches, gullies and postholes were revealed in Areas D, F and G (Turbines 7, 1 and 3). The trenches to the west of the reservoir (Areas A, B and E - Turbines 5, 4 and 2) failed to produce any activity apart from agricultural evidence in the form of a furrow in Area A (Turbine 5). Area C (Turbine 6) was expected to have the most archaeological potential. This was confirmed in the evaluation. Observations made suggests the presence of a worked flint scatter to the west of the main access road and between Areas C (Turbine 6) and F (Turbine 1) which could be indicative of further sub surface features beyond those areas investigated. |
