EHG5104 - Walkover survey - Ardmolich Wood, Moidart
Technique(s)
Organisation

Date
July 2016
Description
An archaeological walkover survey was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in 2016 in Ardmolich Wood, Moidart. The survey recorded 20 archaeological sites comprising mainly platforms, several possible hut circles, field banks and clearance cairns. The excavation at one of the platform structures provided a more in depth understanding of the construction and use of the platforms (see EHG6052). It also provided a record of the site in advance of construction of a forwarding track for felling. A programme of post-excavation work including documentary research was subsequently undertaken, completed in 2018, to analyse the date and function of the platform and place it in the wider context of early industry on Moidart. <1>
