Archaeology Notes

NM65NW 55 from 6274 5687 to 6361 5657

A group of twenty-five charcoal burning platforms, on the W-facing slopes overlooking Loch Teacuis, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Rahoy Estate. The platforms lie within the southern part of the large plantation defined by the plantation dyke (NM65NW 26.00).
