Description
A rapid archaeological survey of a proposed Woodland Grant Scheme application was conducted at Sandside Estate near Thurso, Caithness. The purpose of the survey was to identify areas of archaeological importance in advance of the submission of detailed planting plans. As certain proposals had been made concerniung the incorporation of the archaeological sites in plans for the development of the woodland as a community forest, with public access, signage and interpretation, it was also considered a priority to assess the archaeological sites for their suitability for access and interpretation, and evaluate the possible impact of public access on the sites themselves. A desk-based study was carried out which was followed by a rapid walk-over survey carried out on the 30th Sept to 2nd Oct 1998 in damp conditions. <1>
