Description

An archaeological survey at Kinchurdy Farm was conducted as part of a pilot study into the feasability of using such surveys for the management of the archaeology. The pilot study was concentrated in the Caingorm 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 as have been listed in the appendix. The survey was carried out in dry, clear and cold weather. The whole farm was examined. The woodland at the north of the farm which has a fairly dense growth of birch was examined in 30 metre strips running parallel to the railway. <1>
