Desk-based assessment and walk-over survey aimed to mitigate archaeological impact during refurbishment of power lines, confirming no archaeology was affected.
A desk-based asssessment and walk-over survey were carried out in 2009 ahead of refurbishment of an overhead power line running from Daviot to Whitebridge in Inverness-shire. Recommendations for mitigation and recording arising from this were then implemented during the refurbishment work. However in most cases it proved possible to refurbish existing poles rather than replace them; and where replacement took place the new poles were located on exactly the same sites as their predecessors. Although the work was monitored, no archaeology was affected.
