Field Visit (October 2021)
NL 95641 40110–NM 04298 44866 The field survey on Tiree by ACFA began in 2016 (DES Volume 17, 2016: 42–43) (DES Volume 18, 2017: 62–63) and is ongoing. The work on Ben Hynish (Beinn Haoidhnis), where 713 archaeological features have been recorded, is now complete.
The fieldwork from 2016 has been published (Black, E. and MacInnes, D. [eds.]. 2018. Tiree, Interim Report 2016. ACFA Occasional Paper 142.) and a complete gazetteer of all recorded features on Ben Hynish is planned for 2023. A book on the history and archaeology of Ben Hynish is in preparation.
Ben Hynish Site 6: Possible cist
NL 97320 39216 Situated in open heather-covered ground there is a group of large stones that may form the remains of a cist. The heavy cover of vegetation, however, made an accurate assessment impractical.
