NH 64190 36270 to NH 60230 33870 An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out in advance of a new water pipeline and associated works, between Loch Ness and Loch Ashie, in the Parish of Dores and Essich, Highland. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeological sites likely to be affected within the areas outlined for the proposed development works and pipeline route and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified a significant number of archaeological sites, many of which are new to the archaeological record. These include farmsteads, shielings, enclosures, boundary dykes, clearance cairns, a prehistoric cairn field and the alignment of Wade's Military Road. In particular, the cairnfield recorded on Drumashie Moor and a number of linear field dykes identified in Clune Wood, form part of a well-preserved prehistoric landscape on the east side of the Great Glen near Dores.
