Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation works was undertaken between the 26th July 2013 and 12th March 2014, in respect to the construction of a new wind farm at Ardoch and Over Enoch, East Renfrewshire. Archaeological Works consisted of an archaeological sampling in the form of an axial trench through proposed access tracks and monitoring of area strips for the formation of compounds, turbine bases / pads, substations and control buildings. Additional works were undertaken between 10th March and 12th March 2014 on a cable trench linking the Ardoch and Over Enoch wind farms. Archaeological monitoring works were also undertaken with regards to the ground reduction/soft sediment excavation in preparation for the construction of the access road and additional works on site relating to infrastructure concerning the wind turbines and the access road. Monitoring works on both stages of works revealed only sterile drift geology and disturbance relating to modern use of the area. Cessation of monitoring works occurred in certain areas, prior to their completion, due to a demonstrable absence of significant archaeology within similar adjacent landscapes within the footprint of the new wind farm development. |
