NC 5522 0302 A walkover survey was conducted prior to the installation of a water pipe trench during a development for an agricultural barn. The site lies close to a burnt mound (NMRS NC50SE 56). Three new sites were recorded: a possible hut circle; a rectangular structure; and a turf and stone fank. An inspection of the area of excavated ground for the barn revealed some fire-cracked stone in the section nearest to the burnt mound.
A watching brief of the pipe trench revealed no archaeological features or deposits. A number of clearance cairns were also identified.
A report has been lodged with Highland SMR and the NMRS.
