Scope and Content The image includes part of The Ord, an extensive Scheduled Monument comprising chambered cairns, cairns, settlements and field systems, including numerous hut circles. A prominent circular feature (top left), of Bronze Age date, was initially identified as a henge or robbed bell cairn, now thought to be a homestead defended by a ditch. A hut circle is faintly visible between it and top edge. At lower centre right are two hut circles, with evidence of rig and furrow and probable field clearance cairns. In the open area between these two hut circles and the probable homestead there is an ill-defined hut circle. The A839 road is at top right corner. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
