An archaeological walk over survey carried out in advance of the construction of the Gremista Wind Farm identified eight sites within a 100m buffer of the wind turbines and associated infrastructure. Four of these sites lie within 50m from proposed crane-pads and may be affected by the construction work. A peat coring survey carried out at the same time recorded a varied peat thickness across the Development Area from less than 0.1m to 2.75m.

A rectangular structure is located 55m to the south of Site 1. It is visible as a rectangular sunken area aligned across the slope, north-east to south-west and measuring some 5.8m by 2.8m. The entrance is likely to be at the north-east end which is less well defined.

A possible hut-platform is located less than 10m to the south-east of Site 2. It is visible as a slight curving scoop into the hillside with a corresponding bulge down slope forming an almost level sub-circular area some 3m by 4m.

An archaeological watching brief was carried out during construction work for Turbine 1 at Gremista Wind Farm. The monitoring took place during stripping of peat and topsoil of the footprint for the turbine, lay-down area and access road. No archaeological features were recorded.
