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 22.5 sqkm 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)

Running north-west to south-east across the hillside, above the War Memorial which stands by the roadside 500m west of Reraig, is a 250m length of revetted roadway.

The roadway is 1.5m wide and follows the contour across the slope. It has become buried in places by cliff collapse and scree.

In poor condition and disappearing fast.
