An archaeological evaluation comprising 25 trenches, covering 1700m2, was carried out in September and October 2004 in the field and disused 19th-century working garden and old petrol station site located on the W side of the A82, opposite the Tarbet Hotel. A single undated hearth and one undated post-hole were found. Two golf greens with artificially levelled platforms were present, remnants of a 1900s golf course that ran through the glen from Tarbet to Arrochar. The garden area is first shown on the 1st edition OS map of 1860; no artefacts or deposits of earlier date were located.

Report lodged with WoSAS SMR.
