MID ARGYLL:A FIELD SURVEY OF THE HISTORIC AND

PREHISTORIC MONUMENTSby MARION CAMPBELL, F.S.A.SCOT., and MARY L. S. SANDEMAN

INTRODUCTION

THIS investigation began in 1954 with an attempt to compile a list of known sitesin our home area for our own information and for the use of the then newlyformed Natural History and Antiquarian Society of Mid Argyll. We have restrictedour work to the Local Government District, which is bounded on the south byKintyre (and excludes most of the village of Tarbert Lochfyne with its castle), andon the north by a line drawn from the seacoast south of Loch Melfort, along thewatershed to the southern end of Loch Awe, and thence from Braevallich, LochAwe, along watersheds round the heads of Glens Aray and Shira, and to the shoreof Loch Fyne just west of Dunderave Castle.

Our method has been to compile a catalogue from all available sources: theOrdnance Survey 6" map; the List of Scheduled and Guardianship Monuments;the List of Ancient Monuments compiled by local informants for Argyll CountyCouncil and printed by them in 1915; published accounts; placenames, air photo-graphs and local information. For each recorded site we prepared a looseleaf sheetand index card, and visited the sites as other commitments allowed. There are stillsome sites to be visited, and some entries in the catalogue are still not as full as weshould wish, due to visits having been made, of necessity, in unfavourable conditions.

We have recorded the National Grid position of each site located, checked anypublished data, re-measuring where this seemed desirable, noting changes since thepublished record, and recording any relevant information available. All measure-ments were made with a 6-ft. steel tape and a 33-ft. surveyor's tape, as it provedimpossible for two operators to handle a longer tape bn exposed sites in bad weather.A prismatic compass was used for bearings, which have not .been corrected as nodeviation card is available; it should be noted that appreciable local deviation maybe encountered in this area. !

Where we have been unable to check published measurements (e.g. where a siteis under afforestation) these are marked with an asterisk in the catalogue.

Our investigations will be continued. The present catalogue has been closed at3Oth September 1963 except for points of detail. Future finds will be reported inDiscovery and Excavation as they are made.

The catalogue is arranged in accordance with dateable sites elsewhere, withoutexcavation except where stated; we offer it merely as a field guide and not as a finalclassification. Distribution maps (figs. 2-6) may present a misleading picture; someareas which appear to be blank are either afforested and difficult to investigate, or

2 P R O C E E D I N G S OF THE SOCIETY, 1961-62

at the limits of our range and so have not been closely searched. A graph of heights(fig. i) offers some guidance to the likely distribution in these areas, and indicatesthat sites are unlikely to occur over the looo-ft. contour in this area.

The Appendix lists stray finds and excavated objects, and is cross-indexed withthe catalogue.

We must acknowledge most gratefully the help and encouragement receivedfrom many experts and from the following bodies:

Argyll County Council (especially for access to unpublished material collectedfor the 1915 List); the Conservator, officers and employees of the Forestry Com-mission; Glasgow University Extra-Mural Department and their Tutor for Argyll,Mr E. R. Cregeen, M.A., F.S.A.SCOT. ; the Inspector of Ancient Monuments of Scotland;the Ordnance Survey and their Archaeology Officer, for maps, access to OriginalNamebooks and much other help; the Royal Commission on Ancient and HistoricMonuments of Scotland; the Curators and staff of the National Museum of Anti-~quities of Scotland, the Glasgow Museums and Art Gallery, and Fort WilliamMuseum; and our fellow-members of the Mid Argyll Society. Our individual infor-mants are too many to name, but without much local guidance we could never havecarried through our investigations.

The Society is indebted to the Council for British Archaeologyfor a grant towards the expense of publishing this paper.

A nearby hill on E,

called 'An

Samladh',

the Likeness,

re-sem

bles this fort from a distance

and has projecting rocks lookingvery like w

alling. T

his hill isseen from

the m

ain road nearSalachary, and is a good guidetow

ards the fort if one turns Wabout J m

ile S of 'the Likeness'.A

Craignish trad, that the 'Picts'

came dow

n 'from B

arnlaunich'(or,

'Drim

andaraich', not on 6"O

S) to

defeat 'the

Danes

atSluggan' (see trads. cited under92);

a track from

the plateau

runs down to B
