The Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA) was commissioned by Xodus to provide a baseline assessment of the onshore historic environment assets in an area of the Canisbay parish, Caithness, that may be affected by a proposed marine renewable development and which will later be used to inform an Environmental Impact Assessment.
A total of 18 sites were identified at the Ness of Huna and Ness of Quoys Options combined, of which five were of moderate significance, one uncertain and the rest of low or negligible significance.
