Full Description
A rectangular cutting, approximately 5m x 6.3m, possibly a small quarrry. This was identified in a walkover survey at Tighchuig, Strathglass, undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2010 in advance of a proposed log cabin development and associated hydro-electric scheme. <1>
In the subsequent watching brief by Highland Archaeology Services in 2011, this rectanular cutting was observed to lie within an area of rocky outcrops running approximately north/south , and it is possible that the feature is a post-medieval stone pit or of natural origin. The edges of the feature were difficult to determine and the depth varied from 0.2m to 0.7m. It was almost completely obscured by topsoil stripping for the road. <2>
