A sheepfold, which is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1866, sheet cxxvii), now lies beneath Upper Glendevon Reservoir.
Information from RCAHMS (PM), 16 August 1996.
This sheepfold, which is depicted as a trapezoidal enclosure with wing-walls on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire and Clackmannanshire 1866, sheet cxxvii), is now covered by the Upper Glendevon Reservoir. What may be an earlier enclosure can be seen under the sheepfold on a vertical aerial photograph (RAF 106G/SCOT UK 120, frame no.4259, 20 June 1946, ), while to the SE there is a subsquare enclosure with what may be the footings of a subrectangular building along its NE side. Intermittent sections of hollow trackways can also be seen on the photograph running along the E bank of the Broich Burn and up on to the terrace above and to the S of the sheepfold.
Information from RCAHMS (DCC), 25 March 2002.
Measured Survey (8 October 2003)
A GPS survey of the archaeology within the area of the Upper Glendevon Reservoir was undertaken by RCAHMS on 8th October 2003. Water levels in the reservoir had fallen substantially over the summer and autumn leaving the sites exposed.
