NN95SE 32 9722 5201.

House; Palisade

(Undated) information in NMRS.

The cropmarks of a double ditched fort have been revealed by aerial photography on a promontory overlooking the Rivers Tay and Tummel, 50m ENE of Claisandear farmsteading. It measures at least 50m by 28m within the ditches. Visible internally are at least three palisade lines and a ring-ditch (probably a round-house) approximately 10m in diameter. The exterior ditches intersect one small ring-ditch, and a further arc of ditch.

Cropmarks including those of a possible souterrain and round-houses, and pits, have been recorded 50m to the N (NN95SE 29).

Information from RCAHMS (KB) 19 August 1999.
