SiteRecordings

One site (containing a single undecorated piece of pottery – Site 7) was identified in a flat section of the area. Very little cultural material was observed, and only fragments of undecorated pottery were identified during the field assessment. One site (Site 7) is represented by a single, undecorated potsherd located in a flat section away from the hills and it is possible that more scattered finds such as these could occur in the area. These “flat” sections would have been utilized for crop growing and cattle grazing purposes, and finds such as these are more than likely out of primary archaeological context (washed or carried down from the hill settlements. The flat sections of the area are also characterized by turf, and would not have been suitable for building and settlement. With the significant archaeological settlement sites occurring mostly on the hills and outcrops conducting the proposed development here would not be a problem, taking into consideration the measures put forward at the end of this report.
