Scope and Content Ness of Portnaculter, previously the southern end of the passenger ferry that crossed the Dornoch Firth. The three grassy mounds are related to the building of the bridge across the Firth, that replaced the ferry. A NCAP photo of 1975 shows they weren't present then. A local heritage website calls them: 'part of the central ridge that was removed to build the causeway to carry the Dornoch Bridge across the Firth'. There is evidence of Mesolithic artefacts - a shell midden and flint scatters - along the near beach. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
