EHG5806 - DBA and walkover survey - proposed woodland creation scheme, Strath Glebe

An archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey was carried out by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2021 at Strath Glebe, Strath Suardal, Isle of Skye, in advance of a proposed woodland creation project. The work was undertaken to assess the nature and extent of any archaeological sites likely to be affected within the areas outlined for planting and to inform recommendations for the protection and management of any sites recovered. The survey recorded 17 sites of archaeological interest including farmsteads, pens, enclosures, boundary walls, field systems and their associated clearance cairns. Mitigation measures were proposed to safeguard the sites during the establishment of the woodland creation project. <1>
