Field Walking (April 2008 - May 2008)
NG 84876 81108 to NG 79974 78338 Work was undertaken, April–May 2008, to assess the potential impacts of pipeline replacement, from Loch Ewe to Loch Maree and then westwards to Gairloch, linking to the existing water mains at NG 79974 78338. 38 sites were identified within 100m of the proposed route of the new pipeline. Eleven sites have been identified that could potentially date to the Bronze Age. One Iron Age site was noted. The presence of numerous sites in the study area suggests high potential for archaeological remains ranging from the Bronze Age to the post-medieval period.
