Desk Based Assessment (24 April 2013)
UPM Tilhill commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment on the site of a forestry harvesting development at Pennyghael, Mull. The site is a forestry plantation on moorland bounded by the Leidl River to the west, the A849 road to the north and forestry and open moorland to the east and south. The site is centred on NGR NM 533 258.
The remains of an Iron Age dun and various post-medieval settlements and other features were recorded.
This programme of archaeological works was commissioned by UPM Tilhill for its own internal management and mitigation process.
