Conservation (December 2012)
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Forestry Commission Scotland to undertake a Structural Costed Conservation Plan for the Achlain Bridges, Fort Augustus.
Laser scanning of the three bridges was also undertaken at this time.
Excavation (9 July 2012 - 11 December 2012)
The results of a programme of recording and excavation in advance of conservation of three military bridges located by Achlain in Invermoriston during the second half of 2012. One small trench was excavated on Bridge 009 to identify a possible structural weakness of the bridge at the request of the conservation architect. On Bridge 008, the entire bridge arch and surrounding surface was excavated and a single small trench was excavated at the centre of the arch on Bridge 007, prior to conservation. The excavation allowed for recording of the bridges prior to any changes made by conservation work to the structures.
