Archaeology Notes

NH74NE 58 centred 7552 4552

A pre-war Emergency Landing Ground only one building can be seen at the site.

D J Smith 1983.

The emergency landing ground is visible on RAF vertical air photographs (106G/Scot/UK169, 2011-2012, flown 26 August 1946), in fields between what is now Newlands of Culloden and Leanach. The air photographs show that the field boundaries had been removed within this area and according to the current OS digital 1:2500 scale map have now been replaced.

Buildings possibly connected with the landing ground are noted at NH 75655 45106; and at what is now the Culloden Moor Hotel NH 74912 45215, several huts are visible around a a flat roofed building.
