Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between 8 and 12 February 2012 Amer, Glen Bracadale, Skye, in advance of a woodland creation scheme. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and regeneration and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified 84 new archaeological sites including prehistoric hut circles and boulder walls, and later settlement remains including townships, farmsteads, pens, shielings and a complex of turf and stone dykes. Twenty-nine areas of relict rig and furrow cultivation have also been recorded, which complements the settlement remains. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland scheme. |
