Description

Wordsworth Archaeological Services conducted an archaeological survey of a block of land lying to the south of the existing Glenmore Forest. The work consisted of an initial desk-bound examination of existing documentary and cartographic sources held in Inverness Library, Highland Council Sites & Monuments Record and Archive Service. This was followed by a field survey carried out over two days in May. On both days the weather was variable switching from sunny periods to blustery showers of sleet, rain or hail. The ground was walked in a series of transects with partiular emphasis being placed on grassy flushes and more verdant and sheltered areas associated with the burns and rivers flowing down the hill, as it was anticipated that these areas were more likely to reveal archaeological sites. <1>
