Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out on behalf of Manitoba Energy in advance of the construction of a small hydro scheme located along the Allt Tarruinchon, on the south side of Loch Tummel, near Foss. Fourteen sites were identified, all of which were previously unrecorded. Ten sites appeared to correlate with post-medieval settlement patterns. Five of these appeared to form the remnants of field boundaries. A well-preserved sheep fank comprised four internal enclosures and a linear run along its southern half. To its south was a small, square stone-built structure containing a large iron cauldron. A U-shaped turf and stone structure may have been used for animal management, whilst a stone-filled hollow to the east of the fank may have been used for sheep dipping or milking. Other sites recorded were two water tanks, a disused sluice, a burial and a possible stone cellular structure. |
