EHG5947 - Walkover survey - new electricity cable, Allt na Moine, Applecross

An archaeological walkover survey was undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2022 ahead of the installation of a new electric cable between the hydroelectric power station at Callakille, Applecross and Corrie Mhor fish farm. This route was approximately 25.5km. The survey was undertaken in two phases in September-October 2022 and recorded 51 features or small groups of features across the area. These include 22 structures, 16 walls or dykes, 4 bridges, 3 dairy safes, 3 tracks, an enclosure, a cluster of clearance cairns and a larger cairn. Several of these features had not been previously recorded and include structures high on the Bealach Na Ba. Recommendations were made to avoid damage to all features though adjustments to the route. Where the route passes close to features marking off and, in some cases, watching brief is also recommended. <1>
