Archaeology Notes

NH45NE 68 4994 5660

Situated on the SW side of Loch Ussie and 18.5m ESE of a hut-circle (NH45NE 64), there are the turf-covered remains of an oval-shaped burnt mound measuring 16m ENE-WSW by 11.5m and 1.2m in height. The mound lies on the E side of a wide stream gully and whilst a pit in the top of the mound is almost certainly modern, the hollow on the WNW may be the original feature.

Visited by RCAMS (JRS) 27 February 1989.
