Activities

Watching Brief (2010)

Centred NH 3863 3776: A group of buildings, shown on the 1st edition OS 6 inch map, was recorded in the field during the walk-over survey (2010). Only one of these structures was close to the revised pipeline route, which was not clearly identified during the walk-over survey. In the event, observation during stripping for the nearest section of road did not prove possible. The cleared area was checked subsequently but after levelling off, and no evidence of features was found .

Information from Pete Higgins and John Wood (Highland Archaeological Services Ltd) 14 October 2011. OASIS ID: highland4-112065 (F.6a-e).

Note

What may be five unroofed shieling-huts are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1876, sheet xvii), but they are not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).

Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 15 May 1996.
