The strategy is now being used to target new research and survey work, and the Authority's financial suppoprt for local archaeology and history groups. In 2010/11, this included projects to: topographically survey a series of prehistoric burial cairns and an unusual World War 2 searchlight battery complex; to develop skills in geophysical survey techniques and excavate an early medieval communal bread oven, previously interpreted as a corn drying kiln.
