NT 31736 72383 (Canmore ID: 236307) An excavation was undertaken, 19 December 2016 – 10 January 2017 on the site of a mid-18th-century horse engine house. Upon arrival the site had been reduced to foundation stones, a central structure and construction trench around its walls. Excavation

identified six phases of use, although the finer points of the processes, particularly in regards to the development from horse-power to machinery use, had been lost prior to the investigation.
