CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the cultural heritage implications of the proposed route of a replacement overhead line (YX Route) from Ben Cruachan Hydro Power Station to Dalmally substation.
Although twelve cultural heritage features were identified, by the desk-based assessment, within the study area, few of the identified cultural heritage sites lie on the route of the line, or in the immediate vicinity of any of the towers.
Taking into account the construction methodology to be employed, and the avoidance and mitigation measures which will be employed, it is considered that the overhead line replacement project will have no significant residual adverse effect on the known cultural heritage resource and will have little potential to disturb significant hitherto undiscovered archaeological deposits.
