The development will involve the construction of a new 110kV to 38kV transformer station and associated diversion of an existing 110kV transmission line entailing the placement of four 110kV steel towers of maximum height of 18m. The excavation of six test-trenches located throughout the development area failed to reveal any archaeological features or artefacts. On all occasions topsoil directly sealed geologically deposited strata. In total 373m• of test-trenches were excavated within the 5450m• site, giving an approximate 6.85% test-trenching sample of the development area.
