Description

An desk-based assessment and walkover survey were carried out by Ross and Cromarty Archaeological Services in 2014 on behalf of Global Infrastructure in advance of extending the existing substation at Auchterawe, For Augustus. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be directly affected by the proposed works in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites identified. There were two archaeological sites identified: a stone dyke and a large spread of possible clearance material. No further work was recommended.<1>
