EHG4800 - DBA and walkover survey - Loch Ness to Loch Ashie Pipeline

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were carried out by We st Coast Archaeological Services in 2015 on behalf of Scottish Water Solutions in advance of a new water pipeline and associated works, between Loch Ness and Loch Ashie. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeological sites likely to be affected within the areas outlined for the proposed development works and pipeline route and in order to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey identified a significant number of archaeological sites, many of which were new to the archaeological record. <1>
