Archaeology Notes

NN06NW 11 centred on 0090 6800

NN 00 68 (centre) A pre-afforestation survey of a proposed WGS area for natural regeneration revealed slight evidence for post-medieval and later sheep farming settlement at the SE end of Glen Scaddle. Woodland management was noted both in oak plantation and slight traces of possible charcoal-burning platforms at the E end of the area at NN 0090 6800.

A detailed report has been lodged with Highland SMR.
