Monument record MHG9609 - Craggie Burn

NC82SE 24 87 20

Survey undertaken ahead of possible extensive (c 4300ha) afforestation programme. Opportunity taken to develop and test a settlement model for the area, based on different landscape facets and one which may be of value generally in upland peatland areas. Programme of soil-mapping and a vegetation survey, including peat-depth recording also undertaken. Approximately 125 new sites located as result of intensive archaeological field survey; sites include hut circles, hut platforms, enclosures, groups of possible clearance cairns, sub-peat dykes, as well as structures probably associated with the pre-clearance period. Full details of sites to be deposited with the Highland Regional Council, SMR and NMRS.
