NG 25219 50480 (N area centred) and NG 25344 47923 (S area centred) A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were conducted at Totachocaire Farm, near Dunvegan, Isle of Skye. The survey area included a northern area around Totachocaire and Glen Suardal, and a southern area around Druim na Creige and St Mary’s church on the N side of Dunvegan village. The survey was required in advance of a woodland planting scheme.

The walkover survey was undertaken on 18–19 November 2019, with a total of 65 archaeological sites identified. Sites comprised two prehistoric hut circles (Canmore ID: 10931) as well as numerous medieval and post-medieval farmsteads (Canmore ID: 114771, 114768, 114772), shielings (Canmore ID: 114769, 114773), enclosures (Canmore ID: 305913), dykes and rig and furrow cultivation remains. Mitigation measures are recommended to safeguard the sites during woodland planting.
