Field Visit (3 May 2012 - 5 May 2012)
An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between 3 and 5 May 2012 on behalf of Green Cat Renewables Ltd at Glen Ullinish, Skye, in advance of a proposed wind farm development. The work was undertaken to establish the baseline extent and condition of any archaeological sites on the property, by recording and identifying any features that may need conservation management, and to inform forest design and operational planning. The survey identified 187 individual archaeological sites, including Post Medieval farmsteads, enclosures and boundary walls. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the proposed development works.
