In August 2008 an archaeological and architectural survey was undertaken by RCAHMS of the Cape Wrath Training Centre (CWTC), Highland. The survey was commissioned as a partnership project by Defence Estates (Ministry of Defence) to provide a baseline survey to enhance the historic component of the Land Management Plan for the CWTC. The survey set out to record all visible archaeological features and architectural structures, map them using differential Global Positioning System (dGPS), digitally photograph them, and assess and record their condition using criteria defined by Defence Estates. The survey also recorded all the redundant and current boundaries around and within the centre. Sufficient time was available towards the end of the survey to enable detailed measured drawing surveys to be undertaken of some of the more interesting monuments within the CWTC.

| 569577 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | This road runs for a distance of about 1300m from Kearvaig farmsteading and hunting lodge (NC27SE 13; NC 2923 7265) to its junction (NC 2982 7175) with the road (NC27SE41) that links the ferry terminal on the Kyle of Durness (NC 3708 6603) to the lighthouse (NC27SE 3) at Cape Wrath. It is little more than a metalled track cut into the foot of the natural slope. [...] | 6 August 2008 |
| 1116826 | RECORDING | FIELD VISIT | The location (NC 281 707) quoted by Dr Welsh (1972, 42) of an oval shieling-hut lies within an extensive peat bog characterised by natural mounds and water-filled shell- and bomb-craters. At least one of these mounds, which has a deflated summit, could easily have been mistaken for a shieling-hut or mound. Street (2001, 12) was incorrect in suggesting that there are clearance cairns in the vicinity. [...] | 6 August 2008 |
