Watching Brief (23 January 2017 - 25 January 2017)
NM 67694 45473 A watching brief was carried out, 23–25 January 2017, during the construction of new waste water treatment works at Lochaline. Three small pits with charcoal and possible iron slag were identified and excavated. A walkover survey was conducted of the surrounding area, including the route of a proposed new pipeline. Twelve sites associated with the post-medieval Knock Township were recorded, including the remains of several turf and stone structures and dykes. Many of these correlate with structures shown on the 1st Edition OS map.
