Site Event/Activity record EHG4819 - Walkover Survey - Gorteneorn, Ardnamurchan

An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey at the Gorteneorn promontory, Ardnamurchan, where there is a proposed development to temporarily change the use of an area of forestry to a film set, were undertaken in February 2016. Six areas were identified containing archaeological material, four of which were of significant archaeological interest. Due to the nature of the film project, which was designed specifically to be non-invasive, the site is not being treated as a normal planning condition with regards to mitigation. It was recommended that measures are put in place by the client to ensure any uncovered archaeological material is handled in accordance with professional archaeological standards. A recommendation was also made for the assessment by a lithics specialist of the present recovered material. <1>
