A survey was undertaken along a proposed water pipeline route close to Durness. The assessment was designed to identify and evaluate any archaeological monuments present in the areas, through the examination of documentary sources and fieldwalking.
The results of this work suggested that, although the locality is rich in archaeological remains, the pipeline successfully avoids all but a few monuments of lesser worth. Only previously unrecorded monuments are presented in the following list:
NC 3875 6607 (centre) Rig and furrow.
NC 3876 6603 to NC 3881 6609 Turf bank.
NC 3890 6604 to NC 3892 6608 Turf bank.
NC 3894 6606 Penannular stone feature.
NC 3923 6598 to NC 3926 6601 to NC 3930 6609 Fieldbank.
NC 3936 6602 Small stone pile.
NC 3914 6600 Sheepfold.
NC 3921 6609 to NC 3926 6611 Turf dyke.
NC 3923 6611 (centre) Rig and furrow.
NC 3909 6600 to NC 3910 6609 to NC 3906 6637 Field bank. Gap between NC 3910 6605 and NC 3910 6606
NC 3881 6616 (centre) Turf banked, rectilinear enclosure.
A report will be lodged with NMRS.
