Full Description
NF 717 038 Archaeological investigations were undertaken prior to the construction of a new ferry terminal and access road on the Aird Mhor peninsula. During the initial walkover two new sites were discovered within the development area: a small turf building and an earth and stone bank. Trial excavation of the building indicates that it dates to the 19th century; the bank is probably of similar age. In total , 24 trial trenches were machine excavated within the development area without the discovery of any additional sites.
