Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was undertaken in advance of construction at the proposed Carscreugh Windfarm site. This incorporated: 8% trial trenching of the access track and turbine sites between Turbines 7 and 11 (equating to 790 sq m); dGPS survey and targeted excavation of heritage assets impacted by the proposed development; Erecting 5m buffers around heritage assets in close proximity to the proposed development Site 13c at Turbine 8 underwent partial deturfing, which established it as a possible funerary cairn and was subsequently fenced for protection. An additional cairn at Site 13, within the crane base footprint, was excavated and interpreted as a clearance cairn. No archaeological features were revealed during the trial trench evaluation. The shallow soil profile (0.3m) recorded throughout the trenches would have afforded little protection to settlement remains if ploughing has taken place. However the upland, marginal landscape suggests such cultivation has not occurred on a significant scale and it is likely that the targeted nature of the evaluation and construction footprint means settlement remains in the landscape have been avoided.
