NG 780 300 (centre) In the springs of 1995 and 1996 a field survey was carried out on the NTS Balmacara Estate. The estate covers approximately 22.5km2 of the Lochalsh peninsula. It lies largely within the points of a triangle formed by Kyle in the SW, Plockton in the N and Balmacara in the SE. The range of topographic variation found within the estate largely reflects that found on the W coast of Scotland generally. The range of sites found during the survey reflects this topographic variation.

During two seasons of survey 109 new sites were recorded. A full report is lodged with the NMRS.

Set in the scree that has gathered along the base of a south facing outcrop are the overgrown remains of 2 single cell structures. The more northerly of the 2 is boulder built, measures 2.0m in diameter over walls 0.5m thick and survives to a maximum height of 0.5m. A possible entrance faces to the south east. The second cell lies 30.0m down slope to the west in a grass covered hollow and although it is very heavily degraded appears to be of a similar size.
