NH 5582 6125 A watching brief was carried out at Cnoc Ravoch, Woodlands Farm near Dingwall, by SUAT (Scottish Urban Archaeolgical Trust Ltd) on the 6th and 7th of July and then on the 19th August. The site of the brief is on the SE slope of Cnoc Ravoch and is approximately 2.5km NE of the centre of Dingwall. The watching brief was commisioned by Main McCook Chartered Architects on behalf of their client Orange PCS Ltd on the installation of a telecommunications mast in July and in August the digging of trenches to lay cable. This archeolgical condition was placed on the planning application by the Highland Archaeolgy Service due to the close proximity of a Neolithic chambered cairn (NH56SE 8) and other sites and therefore the potential for new discoveries. All ground disturbance was monitored and no features and finds were recorded. No further work has been recommended.
