Desk Based Assessment (August 2013)
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the cultural heritage implications of the construction of a gridconnection between Langhope Rig Wind Farm and Hawick Sub-station in the ScottishBorders. The grid connection has an overhead line (OHL) and an underground cable
(UGC).
A desk-based assessment and reconnaissance walk-over survey have been carried out for a study corridor centred on a grid connection route connecting Langhope Rig Wind Farm with Hawick substation.
This work has identified 58 assets of cultural heritage interest within the study corridor. Potential non-significant direct effects have been predicted for 14 sites. Mitigation measures have been proposed to offset or remove the predicted direct LANG3/3068/1 17 CFA impacts on the assets identified. Following the implementation of these mitigation measures, no significant residual effects are anticipated.

Watching Brief (August 2014 - October 2014)
A targeted watching brief took place along the length of a grid connector
route from Langhope Rig Windfarm to Hawick substation. The western
section of the route formed a new overhead pole line and the eastern half
was buried underground. No archaeological remains were uncovered.
Known archaeological sites were fenced off during the works to prevent
accidental damage.
