Description

Desk-based research and a subsequent walkover survey were carried out by CFA Archaeology in 2010 to update an Environmental Statement previously produced in support of the proposed Camster Windfarm. The walkover survey took place within the forested areas prior to development. All individual features were recorded by scale plan, photographed and sketched. Grid references were taken with DGPS. Sites were fenced off with high visibility durable fencing materials with 20m buffer. <1>
