EHG3589 - Desk based assessment and walkover survey, Kilbeg Phase 1, Sleat, Isle of Skye

An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out between the 21st October and the 6th November 2010 on behalf of Miller Harris and the Clan Donald Estates, Isle of Skye, in advance of a woodland establishment scheme. The survey was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeology likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and regeneration and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified a significant number of new sites of archaeological interest including farmsteads, shielings, boundary walls and areas of rig and furrow cultivation. Mitigation measures are proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland scheme. <1>
