Abstract: |
An archaeological walkover survey was conducted ahead of a new woodland planting scheme at the Daugh of Allachie, located in Aberlour, which was undertaken over two days in February and March 2015. Following the clearance of dense areas of gorse, thirty-five new archaeological sites were recorded, most of which relate to a probable prehistoric field system: 16 clearance cairns, two dykes and several possible structures that may be contemporary with a previously known hut circle site. A second possible hut circle site was also located. Other sites surveyed include the remains of a stone building, pits of unknown use and sections of boundary dyke that enclosed the 19th century woodland. A small building and lime kiln identified on Ordnance Survey historical mapping near the southern survey boundary were not located during the walkover survey. |
