Watching Brief (23 June 2009)
NR 69383 37803 A watching brief was kept on 23 June 2009 during the excavation of a trench for a pole during the upgrading of overhead power lines between Campbeltown and Glen Barr. Although the area around Kilmaluag is dotted with cup-marked rocks and the remains of other prehistoric sites, nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered in this small trench.
