Abstract: |
A programme of survey, demarcation, and archaeological watching brief undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd between September 2011 and January 2013 for the construction of the Rothes Windfarm Extension in Moray. Pre-construction work included a pre-felling walkover survey and instrument survey of Whiterashes farmstead. The instrument survey resulted in a plan of the remains of Whiterashes farmstead (at NJ 16100 49800, SMR no. NJ14NE0016). This survey was augmented by a comprehensive written and photographic record of the site and its individual components. The walkover survey targeted known or possible sites previously identified in the ES. Of the six sites previously identified as being within the curtilage of the extension, field survey was not able to find any evidence of two of those sites, while four were located. Two of these sites were situated within afforested areas earmarked for felling and were demarcated prior to felling. Monitoring of the felling and a post-felling survey provided a detailed record of Corr Hatnich farmstead (at NJ 18210 49020), which consisted of a rectangular building. The watching brief was conducted during ground works outside of the existing forestry plantation and included turbine bases, access roads and a borrow pit. No archaeological features or artefacts were found during the excavation. I Suddaby and P Moore 2013. |
