Description
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out during the groundworks in advance of the construction of wind turbine foundations, crane platforms and access roads. The ground investigation during the Unexploded Ordnance survey (comprising excavation of test pits) was also a subject to archaeological monitoring. This revealed archaeological remains and subsequently the whole footprint of the new crane platform was investigated by archaeological excavation.
NRHE data transfer:
