NB 1375 4000 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to identify an area of a suitable size, free from archaeological remains, to construct a replica of one of the houses excavated at Bostadh (Neighbour and Burgess 1996). Geophysical survey, using resistivity, electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar, was undertaken to investigate the sub-surface in two areas. No features of archaeological significance were recorded by geophysical survey or trial excavations.
A full report has been lodged with the NMRS.
