NH 196 788 Survey continues over this multi-period site S of Braemore Square described in DES 2004 and 2005. The northern area of the site has been investigated by plane table survey, including the stone-walled roundhouse (NH 19485 79077) and associated clearance heaps. Further clearance cairns, hut circles and other features were identified, and this area of the site is believed to date from the Bronze Age. Plane tabling of the central area of the site has started, with the identification of possible pre-clearance structures, banks and dykes. This survey is well advanced and will be completed by early 2007. Work will continue in 2007 on the S area of the site in the vicinity of the dry stone oval structure (NH 1956 7885) with the aim of completing a 1:500 plan of the whole site by the end of 2007, with 1:100 plans of notable features. A preliminary walkover survey has been undertaken of Strone Wood, the area immediately across the Abhainn Droma from the site. A mound has been identified with ambiguous features on top, and further investigation is planned when the tall bracken has died back.
