Description
An archaeological survey of an area to be affected by the construction of a small hydro scheme located a number of prehistoric and early modern settlement and cultivation features, including previously unrecorded hut circles dating to the Bronze/Iron Age. Recommendations are made to prevent damage to these archaeological features. A visual impact assessment of the development on the archaeological landscape concluded that, after construction is finished and with careful reinstatement and landscaping the impact should be minimal. <1>
