NG 470 437 (centre) The walkover survey and recording of the surviving archaeological remains within the area of the proposed new Portree Golf Course was carried out between Christmas and New Year 1998. A total of 18 new sites were recorded. The new sites include five 18th/19th-century farmsteads, two 9m diameter hut circles, three groups of shielings, and the remains of a former golf course. The survey revealed that the area of the proposed golf course had been continuously occupied from at least as early as the Iron Age (hut circles), and that much of the evidence for this occupation, in the shape of houses, fields, enclosures, cultivation and inter-settlement trackways, survives to the present day.
Reports are lodged with Highland SMR and NMRS.
