Ground Survey (23 March 2010 - 9 July 2010)
NJ 35027 45761 A programme of archaeological work was
undertaken 23 March–9 July 2010 on the site of a proposed
wind farm. A survey undertaken on a small area in the SW
of the development (the site of Turbines 1 and 2), located a
portion of trackway and a parish boundary shown on the 1st
Edition OS map. The remains were heavily overgrown and
in many places inaccessible or not visible due to modern
forestry. Two parish boundary markers (SMR NJ34NE0026 [NJ34NE 38]
and NJ34NW0025 [NJ34NW 40]) were also recorded. The location of
Hillhead Croft (NJ34NW 31) was visited but no remains were
visible A previously unrecorded, probably modern, trackway
was noted.
Three known sites were demarcated and fenced off to
prevent accidental damage during the wind farm construction
phase: Rosarie Forest buildings (SMR NJ34NE 0019 [NJ34NE 15]); Rosarie
Forest enclosure, farmsteads, lades and ponds (SMR NJ34NE
0019 [NJ34NE 15]); and a boundary marker.
