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.

Field Visit (May 1995 - June 1995)
On the hillside about 400m south of Duirinish bridge, at the foot of a north facing rocky outcrop is a small stone built pen. This 'U' shaped pen abuts the outcrop with no visible entrance and measures 2m by 2m with an interior just under 1m in diameter. A birch tree totally obscures the site.
