Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and desk-based assessment were required by Scottish Water in respect to the installation of a generator and upgrade of the existing access on land south east of Ocean View, Nerabus, Port Charlotte on the Isle of Islay (Argyll and Bute Council Planning Reference 16/03217/PP). The programme of archaeological works was specified by the West of Scotland Archaeology Service (WoSAS) in keeping with the policies outlined in Scottish Planning Policy (2014) and PAN 2/2011 Planning and Archaeology (2011). The desk-based assessment was requested in order to assess the archaeological potential of the area prior to fieldwork commencing. The watching brief was requested in order to identify the presence of any surviving archaeological features uncovered during development. The watching brief was carried out on 18th - 19th February 2018 while c. 200m of the access track and the site compound were stripped. The topsoil to be removed was very shallow and in most of the trench was directly on top of a compact medium grey brown silty clay or bedrock. A small selection of 19th to 20th century ceramics was noted in the topsoil but no other archaeological finds or features were found. |
