Description

The survey of Granish Farm for sites of archaeological or historic interest was undertakne by AOC (Scotland) Ltd on behalf of Historic Scotland as part of a pilot scheme for the proposed Management Survey Grant. Primary information for the survey was provided by a review of the information held in the National Monuments Record of Scotland, the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey, and the Modern Ordnance Survey. The fieldwork was conducted by Mr Thomas Rees with the assistance of Mr Dorothy Rankin. The aim of the fieldwork was to locate and assess the extent, nature and condition of the known sites as well as identifying new and yet unrecorded sites. To fulfill these requirements all the farm was covered by the survey team, the density of fieldwalking was aimed to match the density of known or probable sites. Sites were recorded in the field with the use of pro-forma record sheets, sketch plans, colour photography and with their location being recorded onto a 1:10,000 base map using a prismatic compass. <1>
