NN 0800 2773 - NN 1422 2939: A targeted walkover survey was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd along the route of an overhead power line from Ben Cruachan Hydro Power Station to Dalmally substation in advance of line replacement works.

Walkover survey around proposed Equipotential Zones and ATV access routes found an extensive area of rig-and-furrow, as well as a large drystone enclosure. Survey also visited two previously known sites in the vicinity of proposed Balfour Beatty operations on site. Site 3, an area of rig-and-furrow near Tower YX10, and site 5 near Tower YX12 consisting of a field bank, rig-and-furrow and a possibly related tumbled rectangular stone-wall structure. Sites in close proximity to the works were demarcated. No further mitigation was required.
