EHG219 - DBA and Walkover survey - Easter Achvockie Farm, Advie

An archaeological survey of this farm was commissioned by Aileen Buchanan of the Scottish Agricultural College on behalf of the owner Mr Grant Soutar. The farm lies within the Cairngorm Straths ESA. This survey has been funded by Historic Scotland as part of its pilot Ancient Monument Survey Grant Scheme. The purpose of this survey was to supply information on the surviving archaeological remains and discuss the requirements necessary to protect this archaeology under the ESA scheme and the options for advanced management. An initial desk-based search was carried out in Highland Council Sites & Monuments Record at Clachnaharry and at Highland Council Archive in Inverness. This was followed by a field survey on 11th February where the whole farm was examined for archaeological features. As the ground was covered by snow at this time, a further visit was carried out on the 22nd February. All features noted were recorded and sketch plans and photographs were taken where appropriate. <1>
