NH 521 117 A field survey of a proposed hydro-electric scheme at Garrogie, near Fort Augustus, was undertaken. Garrogie, or Garragie, Lodge (NMRS NH 51 SW 3) is located in the glen through which the River Fechlin flows NW from Loch Killin to its confluence with the River Foyers. The development site is an area of open hillside, lightly wooded marshy moorland, on the N side of the River Fechlin. A walkover survey of the pipeline route and access tracks (total length c 3.5km) was carried out in August 2000. Few significant archaeological features were encountered.
The 1971 map also shows two enclosures on the hillslope on the NE side of the Fechlin, 80-90m above the river, at NH 5101 1201. Remains of drystone walls of the larger of these two enclosures were encountered.
