EHG5918 - Walkover survey - Glen Brown Woodland creation, Dorback Estate

An archaeological walkover survey was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in 2021 in the Glen Brown area of the Dorback Estate, near Nethy Bridge, ahead of a woodland creation scheme. The survey was required in order to assess and record the nature and extent of any upstanding archaeology affected by the proposed development. The archaeological walkover survey was conducted over six days between 2nd – 22nd June 2021. A total of 93 archaeological sites were recorded, most of which comprised the remains of post-medieval settlements and field systems. Many of the recorded sites contained several buildings, enclosures, and other features such as lime kilns. Other sites included 20th century shooting butts, post-medieval shielings and cairnfields. Buffer zones around the sites have been recommended to avoid any impact or damage to the sites. <1>
