Full Description
An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.
Area of rig cultivation: The strip of land above the road between Conchra and the bend at about NG 898 286 has been improved, probably prior to the estate reorganisation of the early 19th Century. At some points the higher older road can be seen, and areas of more intensive cultivation such as the rigs at NG 8977 2869. Other features of cultivation such as clearance cairns and turf dykes may be revealed by more careful examination of this area. <1>
