To the west of Newton of Logierait at the boundary line between Strathtay and Atholl is a ford in the Tay called 'Stair Chamb' or 'Crooked Ford'. Near this site is a wood called 'Cluaraidh' (Wood of Terror) above the high road to Weem.
In it is a Pictish fort.

NN 9510 5265. Situated on a wooded spur overlooking good arable land are the remains of a homestead. It has been levelled into the slope and measures 21.0m in diameter over the fragmentary remains of a stone wall. Some of the large boulders of the basal course survive, but few are in situ and while it is not possible to establish an accurate wall thickness, it was probably between 3.0m and 3.5m. There is no apparent entrance, but it seems likely to have been in the S or SE where the wall has been destroyed.
