Project Overview

The purpose of the project was to look at 30 archaeological sites belonging to the Prehistoric / Roman / Medieval and Industrial Revolution periods within a 10 kilometer area of the outer edge of the Blacklaw Hill Windfarm. The intended outcome of the project was to be the recommendation of several sites for further investigation either by using a resistivity meter or by excavation dependent on the final report of the consultant archaeologist. These were to be drawn from a short list of ten sites selected by the course participants. This was to be delivered as part of the report at the end of the survey.

The sites chosen for investigation spanned the period from Prehistoric to the Industrial Revolution; the number of sites for each period was to be roughly similar with the following time periods being selected - Prehistoric, Roman, Medieval and Industrial. These were selected by the consultant archaeologist.

The volunteers were to be drawn from the area covered by the survey. It was anticipated that

volunteers once they had expressed an interest in the project were to receive training in how to approach the survey eg how to use GPS equipment or how to use ranging poles to good effect, how to take photos of the site, how to find out information about the sites , how to set out this information and finally how to assess the sites for further work. In addition a CAD course was to be set up to give the volunteers training in how to make plans of the buildings that they looked at
