Project (August 2011 - May 2012)

An archaeological project was undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd on behalf of the Black Law Wind Farm Grid Connection Extension. A desk based assessment and field survey was undertaken from 2011-2012. The aim of this has been to understand direct impacts on recorded cultural heritage assets, both designated and non-designated, and on as yet undiscovered assets within the Core Study Area.
