Aerial Photographic Interpretation (13 February 2014)

A roundhouse has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1982) some 320m NNW of Lower Ardnagrask. Defined by a circle of sixteen pits, it measures about 18m in diameter. Two closely spaced pits outside the circle on the NW may form a porch.
