Description
An archaeological survey was undertaken on behalf of Hydroplan UK prior to the proposed construction of a hydro scheme. One archaeological site, comprising eight individual features, was recorded, associated with the 19th and 20th-century occupation of Glenquoich Estate. The walkover survey was hampered by the vegetation growth within the fenced enclosure, which may have masked archaeological features. It is noted that further survey may be required if the higher intakes are used, as the Coire nan Eiricheallach may well be the site of a shieling settlement. <1>
