Abstract:		 Variation in peat depth is an important factor affecting the surface visibility of field monuments, and certain types of feature are more subject to masking by peat. On Machrie Moor the conservation strategy was in fact selecting areas of shallow peat rather than those with a high density of cultural features. Whereas surface survey revealed 5 cairns, observation of forestry operations raised this number to 163; and walls were increased from 50 to 222. Clearly a different strategy is required for assessing the archaeological resource in such areas.
