Earth House, near Ardross.
In a field known as East Cairn Park, on the summit of a ridge about 100 feet above sea-level and about 400 yards to the north-west of Ardross farmhouse, an earth-house was opened in or just before the year 1878, when a report of the discovery was submitted to the Society of Antiquariesof Scotland (Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., vol.xii (1871-8), pp. 626-7). The site was re-examined in 1905, and a full description, with plan of the construction, was published in the Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., vol. xl (1905-6), pp. 355-7. The site is now covered over and no remains are visible.
