Description

A survey of proposed woodland was conducted in advance of an application for Woodland Grant. The survey involved a desk bound study of the Sites and Monuments held by the Regional Archaeology Section and documentary sources held at Inverness library, as well as a brief examination on the ground of the proposed woodland area. The area was visited on the 14th December, starting at 8am to maximise the amount of daylight. The survey was concentrated on the areas outside those previously recorded by the Ordnance Survey, particularly around the settlement at Kildonan. The density of settlement meant that the full area was not examined before the light failed. Details were taken of new sites and were summarised in the report 'Archaeological Survey of Proposed Plantation at Creag na Ceapaich, Dundonnell'. <1>
