Archaeology Notes

NC26SW 10 2203 6412

NC 210 610 (centre) A field survey of parts of the John Muir Trust's Sandwood Estate was carried out by ACFA members in July 1998. The initial selection of sites was guided by JMT's conservation manager.

The coastal strip between Sandwood Bay and Port Beag was surveyed and 11 features were found, including Sandwood House (NC 2204 6412), now ruinous, dating from the latter half of the 19th century when it superseded a longhouse-style farmhouse 200m to the NNW.

A report on the above work has been produced.
