The study corridor for this section varied between 10-180m wide, at all times including the current road carriageway. Few sites had been previously recorded in this area. Eighty-six sites were identified by the study. Those of particular significance comprise a settlement (NMRS NH06SE 9; NH 055 604) and extensive associated field remains and structures (NMRS NH06SE 8; 10; NH 05 60 area) in Glen Docherty, and a previously unknown ironworking bloomery site (NH 056 603).
