Balmacara Archaeology Survey Phase 1

Seven discrete areas of survey were chosen as representative of the topographic diversity encountered within the estate, and as an indication as to the potential archaeological resource within those other parts of the estate. The sample survey has added a further 48 sites from an area representing approximately one seventh of the estate.

The survey was carried out over nine days during early May, at a time when undergrowth was at a minimum and visibility of the surface feature was good. Seven areas were chosen ranging in size from 0.1 to 1.0 square kilometre. New sites were recorded at Level 1 only.
