An Archaeological Clerk of Works (ACoW) was present during ground investigations along the line of the Kergord Access track and the new Sandwater Road to make sure no known archaeological sites were damaged by the works. An EIA carried out in 2013 had identified 25 archaeological sites within the development boundary. These sites were re-visited and, in some instances, surveyed using a dGPS to correct some inaccuracies and errors in the earlier survey. Seven new sites were recorded during the survey. No sites were affected by the ground investigation works, but the survey indicated that six sites may be affected by the proposed road line.
