Archaeology Notes

NH53SW 9 5271 3452.

A rough stone bearing 14 cup-marks lies at the bottom of a march dike, on the rough elevated road between Abriachan (NH 55 35) and Drumnadrochit, about half a mile north by east of Rivulich farmhouse. (Rivoulich NH 52 33?) 'It lies in the centre of an old inhabited part, now under cultivation, an upland green oasis between Glenurquhart and Abriachan.' (In the immediate neighbourhood are numerous 'grave mounds' and hut-circles - see NH53SW 12).
