Geophysical Survey (September 2015 - December 2015)
NH 73745 49090 (NH74NW 26, NH74NW 147, NH74NW 48, NH74NW 142) A magnetometer survey was undertaken, September – December 2015, over 80.3ha of farmland near Castle Stuart in advance of a proposed golf course
development. The survey utilised a vehicle-towed MAGNETO MX V3 Sensys large area survey system that incorporated 16 fluxgate gradiometers separated at intervals of 0.24m on a 3.85m wide trailer. Several prehistoric enclosures and settlement remains were mapped. These included new discoveries and sites previously known from aerial reconnaissance. An extensive possible prehistoric field system was discovered near Castle Stuart Golf Links.
