Desk Based Assessment (1 April 2010 - 6 December 2010)
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook a Cultural Heritage assessment for the proposed Burnhead wind farm development. The assessment forms part of an Environmental Statement, submitted in 2010. The Cultural Heritage assessment identified all historic environment features within the development area (through desk-based assessment and field survey), and key external receptors up to 10km from the proposed development. An assessment of the direct and indirect impacts of the development on these features is included.
A former coal pit is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2nd Edition map (Stirlingshire Sheet XXXV.SE 1899) [with an 'Old tramway leading NW to Pit no.5 of Barnsmuir colliery (NS87SE 23.02)] within what is now an area of commercial forestry plantation. The coal pit is also depicted on the Ordnance Survey 2001 map as a small mound located within a small forestry clearing. The pit is visible as a grassed over mound on modern aerial photographs. The site was not visited during the field survey.
