Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between 26 and 27 March 2013 on the Culachy Estate, Fort Augustus in advance of a woodland establishment scheme. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeological sites and features likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and regeneration and to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites located. The survey identified seventeen new and unrecorded archaeological sites including enclosures, turf and stone dykes, clearance cairns, shielings and the remains of a dam and associated hydro scheme relating to the estate; and the previously recorded route of Wade's Military Road. |
