NC 5794 0494 An evaluation of the potential impact of the
excavation of cable trench, between Achany Wind Farm and
Lairg Muir substation, identified three areas of archaeological
interest. A watching brief was undertaken 26 January–5
March 2010 at those locations.
A possible shallow pit, 2m in diameter and 0.3m deep,
infilled with charcoal rich soil and a possible placement of
granite cobbles, was recorded at Cashel (NC 57980 04926),
adjacent to two recorded hut circles. The feature only
survived in the S facing section of the cable trench. The
trench also cut through a possible rubble bank or boundary
at NC 58030 04943.
