Field Visit (February 2020)
NN 69141 95817 to NH 80354 03302 This visual walkover survey to inform geophysical survey was conducted as part of the A9 Dualling Scheme undertaken by Transport Scotland between Crubenmore and Kincraig in the Cairngorms National Park as part of the proposed dualling upgrade between Glen Garry and Kincraig. The walkover survey took place in February 2020, and was to assess the suitability of 45 sites for geophysical survey along the route. Of these, 27 were fully surveyable, 13 were partially surveyable (including livestock that could be removed for survey) and 5 were not surveyable at all in their current state. The areas contained a sheepfold at Nuide (Canmore ID: 117387), a township at Drumnanoich (Canmore ID: 117383) and Knappach (Canmore ID: 78161). Some of these sites are bordered by the Dunkeld-Dalnacardoch-Ruthven-Aviemore-Inverness Military Road (Canmore ID: 139021).
