NH 618 915 A desk-based assessment and evaluation was carried out at Bonar Bridge Golf Club in advance of the construction of a new greenkeeper's hut. The sites lies in a landscape rich in prehistoric remains, including the remains of hut circles (NH69SW0033) and a burnt mound (NH69SW0054) recorded on the golf course itself. Two possible archaeological features were identified during the walkover survey, in the form of two small mounds of stones located to the NW of the development site (NH 6182 9159). Neither of these sites is at risk from the proposed development. For the evaluation, four trial trenches were excavated across the development (equal to 5% of the total site area). However, no features or finds of archaeological significance were encountered during the evaluation.
