Field Walking (26 March 2018 - 29 March 2018)
NN 01290 32490 to NN 07950 37280 A walkover survey was conducted, 26–29 March 2018, along the E side of Loch Etive, between Balure, as far as the mouth of Glen Kinglass, in advance of the replacement of an 11kv overhead power line with a 33kv one. A number of previously unrecorded sites were identified.
At NN 02239 32532, on a slightly elevated platform, is an arc of six large boulders, perhaps the remains of an enclosure which would have measured c15m in diameter.
At NN 05228 33941, cut into a gentle slope, is a level, circular platform, Although it resembles the many charcoalburning stances associated with the nearby Glenkinglass and Bonawe Furnaces, there was no evidence of charcoal at this site and it was perhaps the setting for a prehistoric dwelling.
At NN 05607 34239 is a small mound, clearly man-made, into which is cut a rectangular feature, possibly a store or a small silo of indeterminate age.
