Field Visit (4 December 2012)
NN 1755 8811 A walkover survey was carried out on 4 December 2012 in advance of the proposed construction of an Archimedean screw hydro-electric scheme at Achnacarry. The site is currently occupied by an existing hydro-electric plant, which in turn appears to stand on, or close to, the site of earlier industrial features, including one or more mills and a possible iron working site. This reuse has led to considerable disturbance and individual features and landscaping could not be attributed to identifiable phases.
