Abstract:		 An Archaeological Evaluation consisting of a desk-based assessment, trial-trenching evaluation and building survey, was carried out in July 2007 in advance of construction of a new house at 25 Lairg Muir. The desk-based assessment found there to be no recorded archaeological features within the site itself, although the surrounding area is rich in archaeology, containing extensive prehistoric and later sites including hut circles, cairns and field systems from the Bronze and Iron Age. Due to the likely demolition of the original croft house and byre, a rapid photographic record and building survey was undertaken. A tracked back-acting mechanical excavator fitted with a 1.8m straight-edged ditching bucket excavated two trenches under close archaeological supervision. These trenches covered an area of 92.5sq.m. Representing a sample of approximately 7.7% of the development site. Nine fragments of ceramic and two of glass were recovered from the plough-soil, consistent with a mid to late 19th century date. No finds of archaeological interest were identified, the site has been in cultivation for a very long time, and appears to have been levelled and improved in the 20th century
