Archaeological desk-based assessment and field inspection were undertaken in March 1996 within the area of a proposed plantation W of Loch Arnicle. Evidence for pre-recent settlement had previously been identified by the Strathclyde Joint Archaeology Service. The current survey identified additional unrecorded sites related to prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval land and livestock management practices.

The following site is amongst those recorded during the evaluation (NMRS reference numbers in brackets):
