EHG5962 - DBA and walkover survey - proposed Ourack Wind Farm

A walkover survey was undertaken by CFA Archaeology in 2022 of the inner study area of the proposed Ourack Wind Farm to the east of Dava. The aims of the field survey were to: assess the baseline condition of the known heritage assets identified through the desk- based assessment; identify any further features of cultural heritage interest not detected through the desk- based assessment; identify areas with the potential to contain currently unrecorded buried archaeological remains and inform strategies for mitigation of any potential direct impacts. Site visits were also undertaken to assess the character and sensitivity of the settings of heritage assets in the outer study area. Site visits included those assets specifically identified by consultees as requiring assessment and those identified through analysis of the blade tip height ZTV where it was considered, on the basis of professional judgement, that the impact on their settings could be significant. Archaeological mitigation measures were recommended where features would be directly impacted and/or could not be avoided. <1>
