Archaeology Notes

NM93SW 46 924 348

NM 924 348 (centre) An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of the erection of three houses on croft land on the N side of Loch Etive, E of Oban. The evaluation involved the excavation of five trial trenches, totalling 160m2. No archaeological features were encountered during the evaluation.

The evaluation was carried out due to the presence of Scheduled field banks, interpreted as part of a Bronze Age field system, situated NW of the site (NMRS NM93SW 9). During the fieldwork a visitor to the excavation, Charles Hunter of Lorn Archaeological and Historical Society, located the bank NE of Murdostoun (NM 9227 3497). It appears that the previous mapped locations of the bank were inaccurate. The Scheduled area runs parallel to the actual position of the bank but 80m to the SE. The NMRS map places the bank some 200m to the SE. The location of the bank was noted but not surveyed-in accurately.

A full report has been lodged with the NMRS.
