Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of a proposed development area at Spey Dam near Laggan was undertaken by GUARD Archaeology Ltd. The evaluation amounted to 5% of the development area (1.33ha). Although there were no known sites in the development area the site is close to the location of two sites representing the locations of St Michael's chapel and graveyard. The trial trench evaluation encountered a number of undated archaeological features. A possible clearance cairn was identified towards the north western part of the development area, while towards the south eastern part of the development area, a deposit containing a good quantity of burnt faunal bone and charcoal, possibly representing the remains of a hearth, next to the ruinous remains of dry stone structure was encountered |
