Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology was contracted by Community Windpower Ltd. to perform an archaeological watching brief on all ground breaking works related to the development of the site known as Calder Water Community Windfarm. A desk-based assessment and walk-over survey were undertaken prior to the watching brief which identified a number of sites in the developed area with potential archaeological significance, including possible circular structures and rectangular features. The site of West Hareshaw, an 18th century farmstead, was demolished prior to archaeological involvement on site. During the course of the watching-brief, none of the potential sites highlighted in the desk-based assessment were present upon excavation. No sites of archaeological significance were discovered over the length of the project. Areas of Rig and Furrow were identified as being potentially late in date, possibly 19th- 20th century. No significant finds were made apart from the Mesolithic/ Late Upper Paleolithic retouched flint blade. There were no associated features or additional finds relating to the flint blade. |
