Watching Brief (16 February 2011 - 10 May 2011)
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the erection of three 15 m high wind turbines at Cockburn Farm, Duns. Each of the three turbine platforms required the excavation of a 5.0 m by 5.0 m area by a minimum of 0.80 m deep with an additional 2.5 m by 2.0 m trench for cabling which was of similar depth. The three turbines were then connected by a service trench some 0.55 m wide (0.30 m wide at base) and 0.65 m deep which extended for approximately 500 m from the turbines south-east to Cockburn Farm. Neither significant archaeological features nor artefacts were encountered during these watching brief works.

Sbc Note
A watching brief conducted by CFA in March 2011 during ground-breaking for two wind turbines. This was recomended during the planning phase due to the proximity to the vague reference to early Christian burials somewhere in the vicinity. Nothing of significance was found.
