Field Visit (1 June 2009 - 30 November 2009)
NH 47056 13151 to NH 72140 40266 Recommendations for mitigation and recording arising a desk-based assessment and walk-over survey carried out in 2009 ahead of refurbishment of an overhead power line running from Daviot to Whitebridge in Inverness-shire. From this were then implemented during the refurbishment work. However in most cases it proved possible to refurbish existing poles rather than replace them; and where replacement took place the new poles were located on exactly the same sites as their predecessors. Although the work was monitored, no archaeology was affected.
