Scope and Content This document descibes the results of an archaeological watching brief along a short section of the route of a new underground cable, passing between several outcrops of bedrock, sites of prehistoric rock art, particularly cup-markings, some of which constitute elements of a Scheduled Ancient Monument; another Scheduled Monument (Finchairn Cairn) is located a short distance from a new power station where the cable line terminates. Not all the cup-marks could be identified; much of the ground through which the trench was excavated was prone to being waterlogged. Nothing of archaeological interest was revealed within the cable trench excavated. The report consists of 7 pages, including diagram. The desk study and field work was carried out by John Lewis of Scotia Archaeology at the request of Scotish and Southern Energy.
