NM 92 79 - NN 09 79 A rapid survey of the existing 3000ha plantation was carried out as part of a 10-year management plan. Survey was limited by existing planting and harvesting, but was able to establish the extent of post-medieval settlement from surviving estate and OS maps. Evidence for charcoal-burning and coppicing/pollarding was also found.
A possible roundhouse at c NM 9438 7970 and the remains of a possible burnt mound at c NM 9312 8001 were also found.
A full report has been lodged with Highland SMR.
