Archaeology Notes

NN84SW 23 8170 4046.

Aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1996) has recorded the remains of a farmstead consisting of three buildings on either side of a trackway 65m E of Pitmackie farmsteading. It is not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867, sheet lx and Perthshire 1867, sheet lix) or the current edition of the 1:10000 map sheet (1976).

Activities

Field Visit (24 May 2013)

NN 8056 4008 – NN 8190 4033, NN 8122 4100 – NN 8149 4049 Walkover surveys were undertaken on 24 May 2013 along the proposed routes of two hydro-electric schemes at Pitmackie, Glen Quaich. A desk-based assessment had identified the remains of several farmsteads (NN84SW 11, NN84SW 12, NN84SW 13, NN84SW 14, NN84SW 23, NN84SW 24) along these routes. However, two further settlements were encountered during the walkover survey. The scant remains of a probable farmstead consisting of two, or possibly three, buildings was identified on the N bank of the River Quaich at NN 81615 40334. Close to an unnamed burn that feeds into the river, at NN 81229 40864, stand the surviving courses of what was probably a shieling hut.
