Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by the Forestry Commission Scotland to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of Lossie Forest, an area of post-war conifer plantation near Lossiemouth. The aim of the desk-based assessment was to identify any remains of archaeological interest. A particular focus was given to the Second World War anti-invasion defences which stretch across the study area. A total of 97 sites of archaeological interest were identified within the study area. The vast majority of these formed part of the anti-invasion coastal defences. The surviving coastal defences consist of a line of anti-tank blocks and pillboxes stretching across the forest; a coastal battery; a military camp; a bunker; a decoy airfield and a rifle range. All the sites related to the anti-invasion defences were visited, recorded and their condition assessed. Many features were found to be in excellent condition, though issues such as the presence of vegetation and trees, concrete decay and coastal erosion were having a damaging effect on the remains. A laser scan survey was made of one of the gun emplacements as part of these works.
