Archaeological Evaluation (16 September 2016)
NH 6225 9181 An evaluation was carried out, 16 September 2016, in the area forming the septic tank and soakaway for a house development near the W end of Loch Migdale. A total of 76.6m2 was opened. One feature was identified and recorded: the foundations of a stone wall which appears to
form part of an enclosure. This feature was also noted on the 1st Edition OS map, and so is likely to be at least 150 years old. The wall was of dry stone construction, c0.7m wide and one course high (up to 0.4m). Many fragments of 19th- and 20th-century glazed pottery were recovered from across the site, and one copper alloy button.
