NS 718 860 A walk-over survey of the proposed grid connector route was conducted in Spring 2006. Several sites of archaeological interest were identified including a hut circle settlement, a pre-Improvement settlement, structures, quarries, a sheepfold, an enclosure, tracks, areas of rig and furrow cultivation, a mill pond, lade and sluice, a farmstead, a bridge and field boundaries. An archaeological assessment was carried out and mitigation proposals put forward.
