Watching Brief (20 March 2013)
NM 28545 24560 A watching brief was undertaken on 20 March 2013 during the excavation of a trench for a new transformer pole on an overhead power line near the McLeod Centre and c130m W of Iona Abbey. The large pole trench cut through materials disturbed during the installation of the original pole. A smaller trench for a cable joint cut through a thin layer of topsoil which sat directly on glacial till.
