Archaeology Notes

ND15NW 103 centred 12375 59710

A small Nissen hutted camp has been identified from RAF vertical air photographs (106G/Scot/UK73, 4044-4046, flown 9 May 1946), W of Halkirk about 170m S of Morven House. The air photographs show that the camp consisted of at least fourteen Nissen with one or two wooden huts. The purpose of the camp is unknown.

Much of the site has now been built over by postwar housing.
