The archaeological work was carried out between May and July 2011; it was curated by the Highland Council Archaeology Unit (HCAU) who advise Highland Council on archaeological matters. The archaeological works comprised a pre-felling survey in order to assess the presence or absence, character, extent and condition of any sites. Two known archaeological sites were fenced off to protect them from accidental damage during felling. A 10% sample of all construction work was due to be archaeologically monitored. As the ground works progressed it soon became clear that there was no archaeological value in continued monitoring. Following discussions with the Highland Council Archaeology Unit the watching brief was terminated. The monitored areas comprised two stretches of access track totaling c250 m in length and the footprint of two turbine bases measuring c40 by 30m. No features of archaeological interest were discovered. 1. INTRODUCTION 2.

Welcome/Apologies (as above)/Police report. Chair Pete Campbell opened the meeting, welcoming in particular the members of the public attending with regard to the Braemore windfarm proposals. Representatives of Wind Prospect Developments Ltd, who attended Ardgay & District Community Council's meeting the previous week, will attend the next Creich CC meeting in January. The deadline for submissions in the current consultation period is December 21st but the CC will write to Wind Prospect and The Highland Council requesting an extension as not enough time has been allowed for local bodies to understand and discuss the amended proposals. As witnessed by the public attendance tonight, many local opinions remain opposed to this development. An email received from SNH indicates that no revised ecological study has been carried out which, in its opinion, renders the addendum inadequate. CG has read the addendum and advised that none of the objections raised by THC, and others, to the first plan have been addressed, namely with regard to visual impact/cumulative effect/noise pollution.
