Survey of the 18th-century Military Road Network – Lochaber Landscape assessment Colin Shepherd The following features were recorded during a landscape management survey of the 18th-century military road network as described under military roads IRS Foyers, Boleskine and Abertarff/Dores. NN 1642 7852 Leanachan Water level on the downslope side of this portion of military road suggests the presence of a blocked culvert. L006 NN 1008 5931 Invercoe A revetted track deviates from the modern way for a short distance behind Invercoe House. This might be a survival from the military route leading from the ferry from Callert through Invercoe to Glencoe. L016 NN 1036 5902 Invercoe Square stone culvert which might be early. L017 NN 1048 5891 Invercoe Revetment and early square stone culvert beside modern and working pipe. The stone culvert is not visible on the upslope side, but the road is 6m wide here. The culvert might well relate to the early road. L018 NN 1081 5872 Invercoe Square stone culvert which might be early considering the narrow width of the road. L019 NN 1030 5904 Invercoe A section of track diverges from the modern course and the edge of the modern track contains some possible early cobbling. L021 NN 1012 5925 Invercoe Square stone culvert beside Invercoe House, possibly early. L020 NN 0736 5980 Callert Possible previously unrecognised stretch of late military road running from NN 0769 5972 to NN 0725 5987. Very well preserved. It has been truncated by quarrying and rock removal for the modern road. This appears to have remained the course until after the 1st Edition OS map was drawn. L023 NN 0755 5976 Callert Blocked culvert on above-noted section of road. Deeply covered in pine needles and debris but seems to be made of stone and probably early. L024 NN 0781 5970 Callert Hollow-way meeting modern road and L023 at a fording point. It may be the precursor of the military road or a track to higher pasture ground. L025 NN 0825 6004 Callert Stretch of bank runnin <1>
