EHG5417 - DBA and walkover survey - A9 dualling project (Tomatin to Moy)

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of the route of the proposed A9 dualling project for the section between Tomatin and Moy was carried out by Atkins Mouchel Joint Venture in 2015 to inform an environmental statement. The nature and extent of any known or potential archaeological and historical resources was examined to determine the potential impact of the Proposed Scheme within a study area encompassing the Proposed Scheme Options and a 500m buffer around their boundaries. A 1km buffer was also examined around the Proposed Scheme Options for statutorily designated heritage assets. A walkover survey was also conducted between 20th July and 22nd July 2015 where the sites of known heritage assets were visited to confirm their location and condition, and areas which would be disturbed by the Proposed Scheme Options were assessed for the presence of previously unknown heritage assets. No new assets were located during the walkover survey. <1>
