A desk-based assessment and field survey were carried out as part of a development plan for the archaeology of the site.
The main area of interest lies along the NW boundary of the park, much of it outside the present perimeter fence. Forty-one sites were recorded, mostly of 18th- to 20th-century date, but including two hut circles and associated dykes and clearance cairns. Two corn-drying kilns were also recorded, one of them possibly of double bowl type, as well as a section of Wade road surviving as a grass-covered earthwork.
As often found elsewhere in the Highlands, Bronze Age or Iron Age hut circles were recorded close to post-medieval buildings and walls, but with little apparent evidence of medieval settlement.
