Abstract/Summary
This survey has defined three new extensive areas of archaeological importance along the pipeline route (plots ½, 5/6, 19/20). A further area of more localised deposits has been discovered in plot 12. Additional information about two of the sites (plots 1/2, 5/6) was obtained during archaeological excavation and watching brief associated with the 132 Kv cable (SEB), which runs near or within the same plot as the proposed Gathering Stn to Wellsite G pipeline. This new data is incorporated and discussed below, and is essential for producing a full assessment of the newly defined areas.
