Desk Based Assessment (2012)
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the cultural heritage implications of the proposed route of a replacement overhead line (XF Route) from Neilston, Renfrewshire to Windyhill, East Dunbartonshire.
Although 109 cultural heritage features were identified by the desk-based assessment of the 250m buffer around the proposed route of the replacement XF overhead line, very few of these lie along the route of the line, or in immediate vicinity of the location of any of the towers.
The overhead line replacement project has been assessed against the cultural heritage baseline. Taking into account the construction methodology to be employed and agreed mitigation strategy, it is considered that the development conforms to Local and National Policy relating to the cultural heritage resource.

Location Notes: The grid reference for this panel is situated on wasteland close to the base of a pylon on the S facing gently slope of a hill. There are large amounts of broken glass in the area, and little in the way of rock outcrops or boulders. It is possible that changes in landuse since the record was made have obscured the rock, or that the cupmarks are natural features.
