Field Visit (22 July 2012)
ND 0705 3012 A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were carried out, on 22 July 2012, in advance of a new native woodland planting scheme at Braemore. The survey recorded a significant number of new archaeological sites including a prehistoric hut circle, post-medieval buildings, boundary dykes, burn crossings and clearance cairns. The assessment indicated that the majority of the poorly preserved post-medieval settlement structures identified during the survey had not been previously recorded. The prehistoric site, a probable hut circle, formed part of the wider landscape of prehistoric settlement in the area and was overlain by later post-medieval structures.
