Full Description
NF19NW 23 102 991.
'In advance of MOD re-development of the army base, test trenches were dug around the compound (centred NF 102 991) to examine the state of stratigraphy. Most of the area had been seriously damaged during the 1957 'Hard Rock' landing, and by subsequent construction work.' Sponsors: National Trust for Scotland; Durham University.
