Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 175 5850 3512

A sub-circular field clearance cairn was recorded here during a field survey of the Suisnish area of Raasay by ACFA, who have conducted surveys on the island every year since 1995. It stands on the S bank of a small stream among birch and ash woodland. The cairn has kerb stones and is comprised of large boulders and stones, some earthfast, and measures 6m x 7m.
