This Site contains at least 6 stone cairns (heaps) of varying size. The possibility of these being graves should not be excluded, although it is more likely the result of clearance of fields during ploughing. The heaps are not in a distinct pattern (rows) as would be expected with a graveyard. The site is situated in close proximity to Site 14 as well. However, should the site be impacted on in any way by the proposed development and related activities, then it would be better to conduct social consultation in order to determine the origin and function of these stone heaps. Should it turn out to be graves then mitigation measures will have to be implemented to minimize any negative impact. This could include fencing-in and managing the site or exhumation and relocation of the graves after all due legal processes had been followed.
