Abstract: |
NR 3204 6024 to NR 2470 5770; NR 2218 6705 to NR 2100 5628; NR 2638 6655 to NR 2465 6604; NR 2516 6455 to NR 2748 6358; NR 1685 5200; NR 1970 5295 Walk-over surveys were undertaken at various locations on Islay between 17 and 19 June 2012 in advance of the refurbishment of sections of the island's power supply. The main stretches were: Bowmore to near Port Charlotte (NR 3204 6024 to NR 2470 5770); Ballinaby to Saligo (NR 2218 6705 to NR 2100 5628); around An Sidhean (NR 2638 6655 to NR 2465); and around Foreland (NR 2516 6455 to NR 2748 6358). Smaller investigations were centred on NR 1685 5200 and NR 1970 5295, near Portnahaven. Two previously unrecorded sites were encountered. At NR 30228 62815, close to the shore and a short distance west of Blackrock, is a small area of lazy beds. At NR 24920 58051, in a pasture field on the edge of Port Charlotte is a low, circular mound completely grassed over and measuring approximately 8-9m across and 0.4m high. Its summit is slightly dished, perhaps indicating that its interior is filled with collapsed walling although this could not be verified. |
