INTRODUCTION 1.1 General 1.1.1 This report presents the results of a programme of archaeological excavation and recording carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) in advance of construction works associated with the A832 Achnasheen to Kinlochewe Phase 2 road upgrade, between Lubmore and Glen Docherty viewpoint, Highland (NGR: NH 064 594 - 101 585; Fig. 1). The work was commissioned by The Highland Council Transport, Environmental and Community Services (TECS). 1.1.2 The requirement for the archaeological recording formed a condition attached to planning consent for the proposed road upgrade scheme (Ref: 03/00653/NIDRC) by the Archaeology Unit of The Highland Council Planning and Development Service. The Archaeology Unit produced in November 2003 a Brief for the works, containing generic information regarding the aims, methods and products of the work (Appendix 8). The Archaeology Unit also produced at the same time a specific schedule of archaeological recording works required (see Section 2.10, Table 1; Appendix 9). In December 2003 CFA produced a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for the recording works (Appendix 6) to fulfil the requirements of the Brief and schedule, which was approved by The Archaeology Unit. 1.1.3 The archaeological fieldwork took place in February and March 2003, in often wintry conditions with a period of significant snowfall that hampered and slowed excavation work at Sites 3 and 27, although the primary objectives of the recording were nevertheless achieved. 1.1.4 The objectives of the archaeological recording were to: • record to agreed methods and appropriate standards those archaeological features that lay within areas proposed for development, prior to the commencement of construction works, and • ensure that the needs for archaeological recording and conservation were met without causing any unnecessary delay or disturbance to the road improvement project. 1.1.5 The authors are grateful to Hilary White of the Archaeology Unit for providing curatorial assistance throughout the project. 1.2 Planning Background 1.2.1 In 2001 The Highland Council commissioned CFA Archaeology Ltd to conduct a baseline survey of the proposed Phase 2 and Phase 3 A832 road upgrade corridor between Lubmore and Kinlochewe, based upon a preliminary route alignment design. The survey was conducted to fulfil the requirements of a Specification produced by the Archaeology Unit. A report detailing the A832/919/0/31/05/04 5 of 79 CFA results of that study (Dunwell 2001) has been lodged with the Council’s Sites and Monuments Record. 1.2.2 In 2003 the relevant baseline data gathered during the 2001 study was incorporated into an Environmental Statement for the proposed Phase 2 road upgrade scheme. At that time additional survey was undertaken over a c. 1km length on the south side of the existing road alignment, to either side of Eas a’ Chlamhain, where the finalised road alignment lay outside the original study corridor. This additional work, conducted in February 2003, did not lead to any further discoveries of cultural heritage significance. 1.2.3 Both documents contained mitigation recommendations. These were superseded by the requirements listed in the schedule produced by the Archaeology Unit (Appendix 9). A832/919/0/31/05/04 6 of 79 CFA 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 General 2.1.1 Baseline desk-based and field survey conducted in 2001 and 2003 identified 39 sites of cultural heritage significance along a study corridor including the proposed road upgrade corridor between Lubmore and Glen Docherty viewpoint (all sites are catalogued in Dunwell 2001). Prior to the baseline survey the National Monuments Record of Scotland (NMRS) had recorded only three sites within the study corridor, comprising two iron-working sites (Ref: NH05NE 1-2) and various old road alignments (Ref: NH05NE 6). The baseline survey demonstrated that most of the significant archaeological sites and monuments identified by the study could be related to one of three principal factors influencing the historic development of the landscape. • Medieval or later agricultural settlement and land use. • The construction of the military road in the 18th century, and its subsequent upgrading and realignment to form the modern road.

    © Lonely Planet 212 Wester Ross Wester Ross is heaven for hillwalkers: a remote and starkly beautiful part of the High- lands with lonely glens and lochs, an intricate coastline of rocky headlands and white-sand beaches, and some of the finest mountains in Scotland. If you are lucky with the weather, the clear air will provide rich colours and great views from the ridges and summits. In poor conditions the remoteness of the area makes walking a much more serious proposition. Whatever the weather, the walking can be difficult, so this is no place to begin learning mountain techniques. But if you are fit and well equipped, Wester Ross will be immensely rewarding – and addictive. The walks described here offer a tantalising taste of the area’s delights and challenges. An Teallach’s pinnacle-encrusted ridge is one of Scotland’s finest ridge walks, spiced with some scrambling. Proving that there’s much more to walking in Scotland than merely jumping out of the car (or bus) and charging up the nearest mountain, Beinn Dearg Mhór, in the heart of the Great Wilderness, makes an ideal weekend outing. This Great Wilderness – great by Scottish standards at least – is big enough to guarantee peace, even solitude, during a superb two-day traverse through glens cradling beautiful lochs. Slioch, a magnificent peak overlooking Loch Maree, offers a comparatively straightforward, immensely scenic ascent. In the renowned Torridon area, Beinn Alligin provides an exciting introduction to its consider- WESTER ROSS able challenges, epitomised in the awesome traverse of Liathach, a match for An Teallach in every way.

Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 Description: Demolition of existing and erection of public toilet/shower building with community room, alterations to car park layout and installation of chemical waste disposal point for camper use Ward: 05 - Wester Ross, Strathpeffer And Lochalsh Development category: Local Development Reason referred to Committee: Managers discretion given that the number of objections exceed five. All relevant matters have been taken into account when appraising this application. It is considered that the proposal accords with the principles and policies contained within the Development Plan and is acceptable in terms of all other applicable material considerations. 2. Recommendation 2.1 Members are asked to agree the recommendation to Grant planning permission as set out in section 11 of the report. 3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 3.1 This application seeks full planning permission for the demolition of an existing toilet block within an existing public car park, and its replacement with a new building to provide toilets, shower facilities and a small space for community use. In addition, the parking area would be reconfigured, although there would be no net increase in the number of spaces provided. Finally, it is proposed to install a chemical waste disposal point for the use of campervans. 3.2 Pre Application Consultation: Positive advice was provided in respect of 20/02746/PREAPP for an essentially similar proposal.
