Site Event/Activity record EHG3760 - DBA and walkover survey - Braehour Forest Block, Near Mybster, Caithness

An archaeological walkover survey of Braehour Forest Block, south of Halkirk in Caithness, was conducted by Ross and Cromarty Archaeological Services in 2012 on behalf of Forestry Commission Scotland. The majority of the Forest Block was planted around 30 or more years ago. The fieldwork was conducted in order to locate archaeological sites previously listed in the Forestry Commission Braehour Heritage Module and to locate any new sites prior to felling of the woodland. Forty-nine of the previously recorded sites were not located and twenty-five new sites were recorded, including hut circles, farmsteads, shielings, boundary dykes, cairns, enclosures and tracks. <1>
