EHG4590 - Field Survey - Archaeological Sites on part of Corrybrough Estate, Raigbeg

The targeted area was to the west and south of Corrybrough Lodge and includes the small valley of the Allt a’Choire Mhoir and its surrounding catchment area. The area takes in the hill roughly 1km to the SE of Corrybrough and the hill of Creag an Tuim Bhig to the south; the A9 trunk road forms the SW boundary. It is an area of roughly 4km2 which is generally north facing and at an altitude of between 300m and 450m. Today the lower slopes present a regular pattern of improved fields which are used for grazing sheep and cattle and the heathery upper slopes are devoted to a grouse shooting moor. Five days were spent walking over the area drawing sketches and taking notes of each of the sites. All the sites have been given their own number for the purposes of this project. <1>
