Project (6 December 2021 - 9 December 2021)
NJ 68971 35520 to NJ 71060 39340 Mott MacDonald were commissioned to provide historic environment advice in relation to the installation of a 33kv underground cable between Rothienorman and Gordonstown in Aberdeenshire.
The historic environment desk study and associated walkover survey identified a total of 19 possible heritage assets within the 100m study area surrounding the proposed UG cable route, and one outside of this. The assets ranged from farmsteads and buildings still in use to clearance cairns and disused 19th century pumps.
