Desk Based Assessment (July 2008 - June 2010)
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the potential impacts on cultural heritage interests during the construction, operation and decommissioning of the proposed extension to the wind farm at Forss, Caithness (Forss III).
No new sites have been identified by the study but the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be high on the basis that there are several prehistoric sites in close proximity to the development site and in the wider landscape surrounding the site.
The wind farm layout has been designed to avoid known archaeological sites and features as far as possible and appropriate mitigation measures have been presented that would address any potential direct impacts on any hitherto undiscovered buried sites, features, artefacts or deposits.
