EHG4571 - DBA and Walkover Survey - Caorach Hydro Scheme, Wyvis Estate, Evanton

Five archaeological sites were recorded in an archaeological survey of part of the Allt nan Caorach, on Wyvis Estate, near Evanton, Ross and Cromarty, Highland. All are associated with the 19th and early 20th century agricultural landscape. Two structures, Sites 2a and 3, were constructed before 1875, the latter being out of use by that date and the former being roofed until at least 1902. The old track, Site 5, was also in use by 1875. The fence, Site 1, was constructed between 1875 and 1902 and the borrow pit, Site 4, is associated with the construction of the present track, at some time in the 20th century. No scheduled ancient monuments, listed buildings or designed landscapes are situated within, or in the vicinity of, the survey area. <1>
