Field Visit (26 May 2011 - 14 July 2011)
An archaeological walkover survey was carried out between the 26th and the 27th May 2011 on Ulva Estate, Mull, Argyll and Bute in advance of the second phase of a woodland establishment scheme. The survey was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and regeneration and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified new sites of archaeological interest including shielings, enclosures, boundary walls and areas of rig and furrow cultivation. Settlement remains and a single standing stone within planned open areas within the planting scheme were also recorded to complete the archaeological record of settlement within Block 2. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland scheme.
