J Wordsworth 1997

On a terrace above the Achlachan Burn, a hut-circle was noted during a pre-afforestation survey by J Wordsworth. Measuring 8m in diameter internally, the hut-circle shows as a slightly greener dished mound on a slight rise surrounded by coarser grassland.

J Wordsworth (Wordsworth Archaeological Services) 28 August 1997; NMRS MS 961/24, no.14
