Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation works was carried out at Dersalloch Windfarm, South Ayrshire. The works consisted of the demarcation of specific sites and a programme of targeted watching briefs. A proposed programme of targeted sample evaluations on specific sites was not undertaken because the sites were either deemed to be of very low archaeological potential (improved ground only), or were preserved in situ (either avoided by construction work or floated over). For similar reasons, the fencing off of sites was only required in relation to a percentage of those originally proposed. The watching brief led to the discovery of two clusters of archaeological features. These consisted of a shallow linear feature and a number of small and shallow pit features. Some of these pits contained charcoal-rich deposits. There were no finds from these features, but a number of soil samples were retained for analysis. |
