NH 68787 45085 Between May and October of 2019 a programme of survey and recording was undertaken of the relocated Raigmore kerb cairn (Canmore ID: 13414), as part of the Canal College 2 (CC2) scheme. Canal College is Keep Scotland Beautiful and Scottish Canal’s training and youth employability scheme supported by Archaeology Scotland. The project continued work undertaken at the site by Archaeology Scotland in 2013, which comprised a five day excavation with members of the local community (DES 2016, 105).

The upright stones forming the ring cairn were surveyed using plane table and total station, and each stone was recorded using photography and monument condition recording sheets, to produce an accurate and up-to-date plan of the site, and a record of the condition of the monument.
