Archaeological desk-based assessments and reconnaissance field survey were conducted in relation to proposed improvements to the A832 road along a c 14.5km stretch between Achnasheen and Kinlochewe.The study was conducted in two stages: 1) Achnasheen to Lubmore (NH 158 853 - NH 101 585) and 2) Lubmore to Kinlochewe (NH 101 585 - NH 029 619).
The study corridor for this section varied between 30-140m wide, at all times including the current road carriageway. The corridor runs for the most part along the N shore of Loch a Chroisg between Badavanich and Lochrosque Old Lodge, mostly on the N side of the current road.
Features were located relating to a late 19th-century plantation (now largely felled) associated with Lochrosque Lodge, including boundary walls and fences, drainage ditches, and a dressed stone commemorating the planting in 1891. An early 20th-century pet cemetery was located within the grounds of Lochrosque Old Lodge at NH 1455 5855.
