Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out to the south of Portree, Isle of Skye during ground breaking works for the section of the Braes water main pipe that runs between the road junction at Peinmore and the road junction at Camastianavaig. This area was considered to be archaeologically sensitive because it contained a prehistoric settlement and a series of post-medieval field systems. The line of water main pipe cut across a series of field banks and areas of rig and furrow. All these features were visible on the surface and are considered to be part of a wider pre-improvement agricultural landscape. They are all believed to be post-medieval in date. |
