Scope and Content The image shows a rich archaeological landscape on a ridge east of the Garbh Allt, known in the 19th-C as Rogart Park, with extensive areas of rig and furrow. "On a low ridge of pasture surrounded by bog on two sides there is a township, a nineteenth century farmstead and field, five hut-circles, a burnt mound, and a field-system." (Canmore). Several hut circles are visible to right of centre of image. One of these, with obvious stone walls, has to its right a rectangular enclosure and longhouse. Near centre of left edge an oval enclosure is visible, with the fainter, adjoining remains of a longhouse, and to its left a similar longhouse/enclosure arrangement (these being 2 of the 6 longhouses on the Little Rogart site). A 19th-C firing range, at least 800 yards in length, was located more or less parallel to the lower right edge of the image, just beyond the watercourse and extending out of view to the right.
