Category On-line Digital Images

Scope and Content This photo shows the medieval field system of Whitebog Wood, NE of Rosemarkie on the Black Isle. The cairns suggested a previous battlefield, although this theory has now been discredited. The cairns that show up well on this photo represent a poorly preserved field system in cleared woodland on a gentle N-facing slope. It comprises denuded stone clearance heaps, field walls and lynchets, which form cultivation plots of a type usually found in association with hut circles. Where best preserved in the NE, (i.e. on the R of this photo) two fields measure 20.0m x 15.0m and 30.0m x 20.0m. Glenurchart Long Cairn (Canmore ID:14528) is just to the L, off this photo. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
