  • Kintour Landscape Survey Report

    Kintour Landscape Survey Report

    DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

    Assistant Warden Oronsay/Colonsay RSPB Scotland Living and Working in Oronsay the Assistant Warden Role What's It Like Living

    Assistant Warden Oronsay/Colonsay RSPB Scotland Living and Working in Oronsay The Island of Oronsay, connected to Colonsay by a tidal strand, is just under 600 hectares in size, leased by the RSPB from its owner. Oronsay is a beguiling mix of rugged hill, rolling sand dunes, grassland and machair. Its special nature is reflected in the designations applied to it; SSSI, SPA and SAC with many archaeological sites and scheduled ancient monuments – including an ancient priory. The SSSI and SPA designations mostly apply to chough and corncrake, both of which species depend on positive agricultural management. To manage these requirements, the RSPB runs an in-hand farming operation, with a current herd of 47 native Luing suckler cows and flocks of Scottish black-face & Hebridean sheep (total 600). The 47ha of in-bye grasslands, arable, marsh & enclosed machair provide the winter keep for the cattle & sheep. These late cut grasslands produce an abundant food source for a wide range of species, as well as a wealth of botanical diversity. The extensive grazing regime supports a mosaic of habitats important for a different suite of flora & fauna. Throughout the Hebrides, the tradition of a mixed farming practice is being lost, leading to a loss of biodiversity. It is therefore very important that Oronsay continues to deliver rich mosaic of habitats to support biodiversity through its farming practices. The Assistant Warden role We need you to help manage this complex site. This is an ideal developmental role with an unusual mix of hands-on agricultural work in close partnership with high-end conservation delivery and biodiversity monitoring.
