Full Description

A dump site of plane parts was noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. This area was a dump for plane parts from Evanton Airfield after the war (NH 6262 6597, NH 6244 6598). The area was later trawled for raw material for making objects such as knives. By 2013, it was under cultivation.
