The site boundary encompasses and area of 94.5 ha. The area is that of open moorland used for grazing with commercial forestry bounding it. The area is home to several hut circles, enclosures and field systems. The evaluation consisted of 20 out of 23, 30m by 2m trenches at key points of the wind farm development.

Note:		 AOC Archaeology was commissioned by ARCUS Consultancy Services Ltd on behalf of RDS Element Power Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation in the area of Tullymurdoch, Perthshire in advance of a wind farm development. The site boundary encompasses an area of 94.5 ha and is open moorland used for grazing bounded by commercial forestry. The evaluation consisted of 20 30m x 2m trenches at key points of the wind farm development. The topsoil was revealed to be relatively shallow varying from 0.15m - 0.45m across the site. The natural subsoil was variable however generally consisted of a mottled grey orange sandy clay. No significant archaeological features or finds were uncovered during the evaluation works. A topographic survey of Area C has confirmed the findings of an earlier walkover survey identifying and accurately locating a number of hut circles and clearance cairns lying within field systems in the form of ditches and banks.
