NS 6131 5823 A watching brief was undertaken 6–7 October 2011 during the excavation of 34 test pits and 2 boreholes on the site of a proposed wind turbine and meteorological mast. The area was considered sensitive due to its proximity to a number of cairns and a circular earthwork. The test pits contained 0.2–0.4m of topsoil orange/brown stilty clay or bedrock. No archaeological finds or features were recorded.
