Field Visit (31 October 2016 - 4 November 2016)
NC 023 070 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken, 31 October – 4 November 2016. The work was commissioned by the Coigach and Assynt Living Landscape Partnership and aimed to contribute to the Achlochan Coastal Heritage Project by providing a survey, condition assessment and management recommendations for the cultural heritage of the Achlochan Peninsular. The work consisted of a walkover and topographic survey of the peninsular, ranging from the crofts at Polglass to the point marked as Rudha Dunan on the early editions of OS maps (now referred to as Rubha Dunan).
A high resolution 3D laser scan was undertaken at the Loch Poll an Dunain Broch and associated croft, and small scale excavations were carried out at one of the structures on the foreshore. Several previously unrecorded structures were found during the survey works. These included a circular turf-walled structure, possibly a hut circle, and several oval turf built huts probably of more recent date.
