Desk Based Assessment (20 April 2011 - 30 April 2011)
An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between the 20th and the 22nd April 2011 on behalf of Auch Estate, Bridge of Orchy, Argyll and Bute in advance of a woodland establishment scheme. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and regeneration (Area 1) and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified new sites of archaeological interest including a bothy, a shieling, a boulder shelter and possible shooting butts. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland scheme.
