NH41NE 2 4928 1711.
A camp of soldiers was established in 1725 at Stratherrick to report on depredations by the clans. The ruins of it can be seen on a slightly elevated piece of ground, 200 yards by 54 yards, among birch trees flanking the River Fechlin, exactly west of the RC Chapel near Whitbridge.
(T Wallace 1886; T Wallace 1911)
The remains of this military camp are at NH 4928 1711 where the footings of a number of rectangular and circular structures (? tent sites) are visible in a clump of trees, together with some small earthen mounds and a corn-drying kiln.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
