Date
February 2009
Description
An archaeological walkover and desktop survey was undertaken prior to the formation of a caravan park and camping ground. At least three of the boundary stones marking the 'Government Lands' of Fort Augustus were believed to lie in the application area. In co-operation with Cill Chuimen Heritage the stones were identified and measures proposed for their protection. The report also highlights potential for previously unrecorded remains, including a possible camp site of Cumberland's Army, and makes recommendations for further work. <1>
