An archaeological watching brief identifies military and structural remains at Stornoway Airport, suggesting historical significance.
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Ltd at Stornoway Airport, Stornoway, during ground-breaking works to excavate a trench c. 1,200m in length along the beach to the immediate East of Stornoway Airport. The Archaeological Watching Brief identified displaced archaeological remains relating to the adjacent Stornoway Airport and its previous use as a military airfield (RAF Stornoway). These remains included demolition deposits from WWII-era buildings previously within the adjacent airfield, and WWII-era small-arm ordnance. The watching brief also identified archaeological deposits relating to the remodelling and landscaping of the airport in the later twentieth century.
