Description

An archaeological walkover survey was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in 2023 in order to address the potential archaeological impact of the proposed development of a new substation and HVDC converter site, near Spittal, Caithness. The site was located to the north of the hamlet of Spittal immediately east of the A9, with the hamlet of Achalone located immediately west of the proposed site. The development area was systematically walked, and sites were recorded using written descriptions and high-resolution digital photography, with site locations being recorded using ArcGIS Field Maps. Sites previously recorded were visited though no evidence of two were found. <1>
