NM71NW 124
A field survey was carried out of the west, north and east portions of Easdale Island by HES on visits over the period 2015-2017. The island was split into sections in order to deal with the complex re-mains in this ever changing, quarried landscape.
This area (NM71NW 124) known as central spoil, walls and workings (for the requirements of the survey), is bounded by the sea slate waste to the north and NM71NW 123, Easdale village to the east, and spoil and walls to the south west (NM71NW 125).
This area contains the remains of a cluster of garden enclosures and substantial slate waste as well as the post-1899, pre-1946 tramway (visible on aerial photograph, NCAP_SCOT_106G_SCOT_UK_0049_4267, 4th May 1946) serving the south west quarries, An lub chlear and Fang (NM71NW 117 and 118 and the reopening of An tollmor Thicath, NM71NW 115 based on quarry proximity) and taking slate waste to the area centred on NM73713 16987 and slates to the harbour for export.
Visited by, and information from HES, Survey and Recording Section, (MMD) 9 September 2015/ 15 February 2019.
