NM 00 45 (area) A survey of the coast of Tiree was conducted in November 2001. A 50-100m strip was investigated around the entire coastline for the presence of built heritage and archaeological remains. A total of 141 sites were found, of which 85 represent previously unrecorded remains. Of particular interest are a possible prehistoric enclosure and field system at Port Snoig (NL 9710 3881) and a possible Norse settlement or chapel at Loch Dubh a Gharaidh Fail (NM 0275 4859).
Observations on the coastal geomorphology and hinterland geology were also recorded. As part of this project, a programme of public outreach, including basic archaeological training, was carried out in association with local residents.
