Non-Technical Summary
Stuart Farrell was commissioned by Halcrow Group Ltd in March 2003 to undertake an archaeological desktop and walkover survey for the Glendale Water Mains Renewal Project, Skye (of an area between NG 1221/8472 - NG 1145/8505).
Work revealed a number of crofting townships comprising of a number of buildings and enclosures along the route of the existing pipeline, where it is likely that the new route will follow to enable house connections to be made.
Only a brief study was made of each township to try and undertake a detailed study of each township is well outwith the scope of this project.
A number of recommendations have been made for certain sections of the existing and any proposed pipeline route.
1. Introduction This report is for an archaeological desktop survey conducted for Halcrow Group Ltd on behalf of Scottish Water by the author for the Glendale Water Mains Renewal Project, Skye.

3. Objectives To conduct a desktop and walkover survey to the development area to record those features that would be possibly affected by the new proposed water renewals scheme, this work to identify sites along the existing route which will lie close to the new mains. This survey to follow those guidelines as proposed by the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA, 1999) and to follow the enclosed specification as provided by Highland Council Archaeology Unit.
4. Archaeological Survey
Desktop & Walkover Results A desktop survey was conducted using the following sources: - Highland Council Sites and Monuments Record; - National Monuments Record of Scotland, Edinburgh; - National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh (Maps); - Highland Council Archives; - Inverness Library.
Map coverage was limited as the 1st edition of 1870’s was almost the same as the 2nd of 1906 and little survey work has been carried out in detail in the 20th century, with the next edition being late 1960’s.
Archaeological survey is this area has been very limited in the past. Work by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (1928) only surveyed a small number of sites in the parish of Duirinish being either prehistoric (especially Duns) or ecclesiastical. Modern survey work has been limited to only a small part of the township of Boreraig being surveyed in 1989 (Miket and Wildgoose, 1989, 35-43). A number of shielings and cairns were identified to the western edge of the township. No survey work has been made to any of the other townships in the area.
The following 41 archaeological sites were to be found in the area or close to the existing pipeline (existing pipelines are highlighted in red on the accompanying maps with sites numbered). Sites are as follows:

An outwork surrounds the rocky plateau upon which the broch stands, consisting of a wall about 6' thick surviving to a height of 3' in places.’
Dun Colbost broch is sited on the east end of a rocky knoll in moorland above Loch Dunvegan. The broch is surrounded by an outer wall, which cuts across the knoll, leaving the western half of the plateau unenclosed. The enclosing wall is broadest in front of the broch entrance which faces west.

Most of township lies away from route of existing pipeline. Results made during walkover were as follows:

12 – Cnoc no Cille or Husabost HSMR – NG15SE 2 NMRS – NG15SE 2 Grid Ref: NG 1992/5162 Type – Graveyard, farm, byre, chapel, mill, stables Noted in HSMR and NMRS of ‘Cnoc na Cille: a hill at Husabost containing monastic remains.....the church is a large hill sic with an inner compound containing two other buildings. These have been rebuilt once or twice, the last time about 1850. The larger of the buildings seems to have contained a refectory or a large hall or two other rooms, subsequently made into five. The smaller was used as sleeping quarters, etc, etc. (The information in these letters would seem to be of very doubtful value and authenticity). '.....at Husabost ....the road passes a ruined barn, once the chapel of St. Francis, and a forgotten graveyard, which is curious in that the tradition places it on a mound or dun, Cnoc na Cille, like the old burial cairns, rather than in the usual patch of low ground. Information contained in Letters from J Gayland to OS, 1955. The group of ruined buildings at Husabost, occupying the site of the old burial ground, comprise stables, byre, and threshing-mill, formerly a chapel. This latter building, still known locally as a chapel, measures internally 12.5m by 8.5m, and is orientated almost due N-S. It is of rubble masonry with two large pointed windows extending nearly to the wall-heads in each of the E and W walls, and a pointed doorway with pointed window above at the N end. The S end has a lancet, now blocked. It was converted into a mill by putting a central partition down the long axis, blocking the top half of the windows, and inserting an upper floor (since removed); access to this upper storey was by outside steps at the S end. The mill machinery was installed in 1913 and was in use until about 1930. Very little information could be gained about this church but a local informant (Information from Major-General Stuart-Martin, Husabost) said it was dedicated to St Francis, and abandoned in 1843. Gaylard's references to monastic connections can be ignored. Visited by OS May 1961.’

5. Conclusions Overall most of the sites revealed relate to the crofting landscape with the occasional prehistoric site, though most of these are located inland. Most of the crofts seem to have been abandoned in the early 20th century or become part of larger crofts.
It was noted during the walkover survey that most of the existing valves looked replaced (plastic rather than metal covers) and it may be possible that the actual works will be less than is marked on the enclosed drawings.
Once route/s have been devised it would be advisable to have it quickly checked against this report.
