The cropmark of the N half of a possible enclosure has been identified from aerial photographs 85m W of Fendoch Cottage. It is sub-circular in shape, measuring approximately 25m across with an oval cropmark centrally positioned internally. Indeterminate and linear cropmarks have been recorded to the E and W in the same field (NN92NW 20 and NN92NW 22 ).
Information from RCAHMS (KB) 19 August 1999
Excavation (27 August 2011 - 28 August 2011)
NN 9160 2860 An evaluation was undertaken 27–28 June 2011 and a subsequent excavation 20 September–3 October 2011, prior to the creation of an access track and tower compound, related to the construction of the Beauly to Denny 400kV overhead line.
The work recorded 19 pits, many of which contained charcoal. A spread of material rich in pottery, of supposed medieval date, and fragments of a copper alloy object (perhaps a buckle) were also recorded. Four pits contained evidence of in situ burning and one contained a large iron object, possibly the head of a pick or other tool. The evaluation trenches also investigated a possible cropmark site (NN92NW 21). This feature was found to be natural in origin and linked to changes in the subsoil.
