Activities

Field Visit (15 December 2011 - 28 December 2011)

An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between 16 December and 17 December 2011 at the Killundine Estate, on the Morvern peninsula 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 and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified thirty-eight new archaeological sites including shielings, townships, pens and turf and stone dykes. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland scheme.
