EHG3113 - Walkover survey of area surrounding Uamh an Eich Bhric, Fiskavaig, Isle of Skye
Technique(s)
Organisation
Archaeological and Ancient Landscape Survey (AALS)
Date
2008
Description
As part of the 2008 excavation, walkover survey was carried out over a 1 square kilometre area around the site to establish if related sites existed in the immediate landscape. Sites identified during desk-based research were also located. None of the five known sites could be said to have a direct bearing on the midden site. The walkover survey identified seven previously unrecorded sites, three of which may have a bearing on, or a direct relationship with, the Late Iron Age occupation of Uamh an Eich Bhric. These elements may represent the remains of a Late Iron Age farm comprising outfield boundary, farmhouse and elements of stock control. <1>
