Archaeology Notes

NH70SW 4.03 7240 0180

A dispersed group of at least twenty small cairns, which measure up to 4m in diameter and 0.4m in height, is situated on the heather-covered ridge to the NW of the Allt Gortan. Faint traces of what may be ridging are visible in a smooth patch of ground at the SE side of the group of cairns (NH 7248 0188).
