The records of archaeological sites included in the RCAHMS list for Lunan Valley and the Montrose Basin, published in August 1978, were revised in August 2022. This task included updates to their location, classification and period, the creation of digital site-area polygons and the arrangement of site descriptions under a project heading. Revision was undertaken by Darroch Bratt and managed by George Geddes, HES. The text below is taken from the original report and outlines its scope and staffing.
