RCAHMS Afforestable Land Survey, Rogart

NC70NW 94 7210 0680

There are about thirty small cairns (ROG95 949), measuring up to 5m in diameter and 0.5m in height on the crest and SW-facing flank of the semi-improved ridge to the NNW of East Langwell.

A building (ROG95 291, NC 7209 0670) is situated on a terrace at the SW fringe of the small cairns. It measures 8.3m from NE to SW by 2.6m transversely within faced-rubble footings 0.8m in thickness and 0.6m in height; there is an entrance in the SE side. The building is shown as roofed on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1907, sheet xcvi) and, while the 1st edition map (Sutherland 1897, sheet xcvi) also depicts a roofed building at this location, it is aligned from NW to SE. Both buildings may have been associated with the farmstead to the SE (NC 70NW 95)
