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. A longhouse and rectangular enclosure can be seen to the right of the obvious stone-walled hut circle. In top left sector an oval enclosure is clearly visible, with the fainter, adjoining remains of a longhouse. Slightly further away, to its left, is a similar longhouse/enclosure arrangement (these being 2 of the 6 longhouses on the Little Rogart site). The end of a 19th-C firing range, at least 800 yards in length, is located beside the watercourse in the lower left sector of the image, where the visible curved stone setting may be an associated feature.
