A Long 1996
Historic Assynt surveyed this area for two small areas of proposed woodland expansion on croft land at Culnacraig and Achduart, Wester Ross. in November 2014. Although a number of pre-historic hut circles have been recorded in the vicinity of both Culnacraig and Achduart, all the sites noted within the planting areas are probably associated with crofting activity over the last two hundred years. <1>
