Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken in respect of the construction of one wind turbine at Ainville Farm, Kirknewton, West Lothian. The archaeological works were designed to monitor ground reduction in targeted areas prior to the construction of a wind turbine base, two adjacent crane pads and the construction of an access road. The monitoring failed to identify any significant archaeological features during the excavation of soft sediment works. The majority of works revealed shallow geology and natural sterile drift geology, indicating that the footprint of the wind turbine and the associated infrastructure covers archaeologically sterile land. The remainder of what was exposed was material which can be attributed to use of the area as a landfill refuse tip. |
