Full Description

A post-medieval lade / pipe run (site 15) was surveyed by West Coast Archaeological Services in March 2013 during a walkover survey in advance of a proposed woodland creation scheme. These features were found in survey area 3. Running parallel to the west northwest of a burn is a raised stone bank measuring up to 2m in width and 0.6m in height. The bank contained ceramic and iron pipe for a hydro system. An inspection chamber contained a ceramic pipe and iron-flanged piping. The feature was in a degraded condition at the time of surveying. <1>
