Watching Brief (13 April 2012 - 3 May 2012)
A watching brief was undertaken by Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) on two wind turbine bases and associated cable trenches at Lynnside, Harray, Orkney. The excavation of two, north-south running, cables trenches, and two wind turbine base trenches were monitored under constant archaeological supervision between the 13th of April 2012 and the 3rd of May 2012. The site lay within a pasture field and garden which was in close proximity to a series of cists at Werne (NMRS Number HY31NW 56, RCHAMS 2012). No evidence of any cists was uncovered and no other significant archaeological finds or features were recorded.
