Description

A DBA and walkover survey was carried out by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2014 on behalf of Scottish Water Solutions in advance of new water treatment work upgrades at Tomatin, Strathdearn Inverness-shire. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be affected within the areas outlined for the proposed development works and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey recorded the site of a known hut circle and associated field system and identified one new archaeological site, which may comprise the degraded remains of a prehistoric cairn. Mitigation measures were proposed to safeguard the site during the establishment of the proposed works. <1>
