Abstract: |
An archaeological archive assessment and monitored soil strip were carried out at land at Castle Mains Farm, Dirleton for the construction of four wind turbines. This development was approved under two separate planning consents, with a single turbine in close proximity to the farmyard forming one consent and a group of three turbines in the field to the south forming the other. Archive assessment showed that the single turbine at Castle Mains Farm lay in close proximity to Dirleton Castle, which is Category A-Listed and a Scheduled Monument, but there were no known features within close proximity to the three turbines in the field to the south. Cartographic evidence suggested that there had been no pre-recent development within any of the turbine locations. The monitored soil strip identified numerous field drains indicating a programme of 19th century agricultural improvements, but there were no features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance identified. |
