Description

An archaeological survey at Balnafoich Farm was conducted as part of a pilot study into the feasability of using such surveys for the management of the archaeology. This pilot study was concentrated in the Cairngorm Straths Environmentally Sensitive Area where active management proposals are already being drawn up to manage the historic and natural landscapes. After an initial deskbound survey of the HRC Sites & Monuments Record, the earlier OS and Roy maps and accessible records in Inverness library, the area of the farm was examined in the field. Summary descriptions and photographs were taken of all archaeological features. The survey was carried out in dry, clear and cold weather. The whole farm was examined, though areas such as the juniper scrub covered ground at the North East of the farm could not be fully covered. <1>
