EHG5329 - Metal Detecting Survey - Ben Nevis Distillery

An archaeological metal-detector survey carried out by AOC Archaeology Group in 2017 in advance of the installation of new gas tanks at Ben Nevis Distillery located to the northeast of Fort William. The survey was required in order to inform developers of the archaeological potential of the site, which is located within the defined boundaries of the battle of Inverlochy. Fieldwork was carried out on 24th June 2017 by Lochaber Archaeology Society under the supervision of AOC Archaeology. The desk-based assessment and metal detector survey proved that the site had been thoroughly disturbed by previous work on the site whoich included removal of the former railway line predated by the presence of a c.mid 19th century mill dam. There were no recommendations for further work on the site. <1>
