Archaeology Notes

NN16SW 14 1429 6112

Two scoops (NMRS MS 738/31, no.49), situated on the S-facing slopes of Torr a Phloda, were recorded by AOC (Scotland Ltd). The E scoop measures 1.9m in diameter and is 0.5m deep whilst the second scoop to the W measures 3.1m in diameter and is 0.5m deep. The E feature is possibly military in nature - possibly the remains of fox hole or a searchlight site. (See also NN16SW 12)
