Activities

Desk Based Assessment (2012)

CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the cultural heritage implications of the proposed route of a replacement overhead line (XF Route) from Neilston, Renfrewshire to Windyhill, East Dunbartonshire.

Although 109 cultural heritage features were identified by the desk-based assessment of the 250m buffer around the proposed route of the replacement XF overhead line, very few of these lie along the route of the line, or in immediate vicinity of the location of any of the towers.

The overhead line replacement project has been assessed against the cultural heritage baseline. Taking into account the construction methodology to be employed and agreed mitigation strategy, it is considered that the development conforms to Local and National Policy relating to the cultural heritage resource.

Compiled by: ScRAP

Location Notes: A thorough search was conducted within a 50m radius of the Canmore grid reference. Much of this area comprises turf covering the bedrock to a depth of at least 0.4m. Only natural features were identified on exposed rock surfaces within the area surveyed, and it is assumed that one of these is the 'cupmark' mentioned in the Canmore entry.
