EHG6094 - Metal detecting survey - Barrow cemetery, Tarradale (Tarradale Through Time)

A metal detecting survey was carried out by members of NoSAS in 2019 within the area of uncultivated ground at the Tarradale Barrow Cemetery, Muir of Ord, Ross-shire. This was undertaken as part of the the Tarradale Through Time Project. Two complete 2m wide sweeps were made around the outside of the area, after which approximately 50% of the interior was covered checking mounds and hollows. The outside 4-5m of the area gave continuous scrap iron signals from the part buried, part exposed remains of a post and rusted plain 8 gauge wire fence. Occasional short lengths of the same rusted 8 gauge wire occur across the central area. A couple of signals were excavated to confirm this. Otherwise the remains of two small steel drums were recovered. <1>
