Scope and Content A rectangular enclosure just S of the track at left centre edge may relate to a building shown on the 19th-C 1st-edn. OS map. The larger rectangular enclosure left of centre may relate to a farmstead recorded nearby. The alleged site of a broch, "Thor's Tower", is just N of the intersection (centre of image) of the N-S watercourse and the E-W track. However, other than a reported "green patch" (not visible in snow) the record reports no evidence of a structure on the site. At centre right, rig and furrow is seen beyond the house. At upper right edge, halfway between the farm buildings and upper right corner of image, a vague round patch in the field may be where a circular cropmark has been recorded as a possible henge. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
