Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Infinergy to undertake a programme of archaeological works at Tom nan Clach Windfarm in support of concurrent applications to vary and repower the existing consented wind farm.

This report presents the results of the archaeological mitigation undertaken in November and December 2015 in conjunction with the first phase of pre-construction geotechnical site investigations.

Avoidance of known assets was achieved by submission of their location co-ordinates, a toolbox talk and guidelines document to the ground contractor and marking-out Sites 45, 65, 78, 83 and 123.

To mitigate impacts to unknown assets, archaeological monitoring of geotechnical investigations was undertaken in close proximity to Sites 45/83 and 65/78. No new features of archaeological significance were identified during the work.
