The Speyside project was drawn to a close in the spring,
with fieldwork focused on mapping settlements along the
route of the military road south-west of Ruthven Barracks.
The opportunity was also taken to survey an 18th century
military bridge (Drochhaid Balbh Bhordain Bridge). This work
supported a lecture on the military roads in Badenoch as well
as a guided walk along the same, as part of Kingussie Walkfest
in May, both facilitated by RCAHMS staff. A survey was also
carried out of the Lynchat souterrain in support of an initiative
by the local community group in Kingussie to include the
site in the Adopt-a-Monument Scheme, run by Archaeology
Scotland. Another survey which yielded hitherto unsuspected
detail was that of the Clava-type ring-cairn at Delfour, a rare
example of where the polygonal shape of both the inner court
and the outer kerb can be demonstrated.
