Rogart: fieldwork has been completed in a block of ground covering about 68 square kilometres around the village of Rogart, Sutherland. Although the Ordnance Survey had previously demonstrated that this was an archaeologically rich area, the present survey identified a significant number of hitherto unknown monuments, including two chambered cairns [NC70SW 51, NC70SW 52] and two probable Pictish cairn cemeteries [NC60NE 1, NC70SW 79].

To complement the archaeological work, and to provide a context for the monuments, the Royal Commission, with the financial support of Historic Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage, has commissioned Dr Richard Tipping to undertake a palaeo-environmental reconstruction of the Rogart basin.
