Archaeology Notes

NH66NE 129 centred 6513 6775

Two roofed buildings on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch (Ross and Cromarty, sheet lxv; 1880).

Only one building found. This has the stump of one end only 0.5m high, interior filled with rubble. A low mound of stones and mortar close by to the West may represent either the other end of the building or the other structure noted in 1880. No sign of other foundations on this dry area of grass with stagnant ponds inland. Lots of mussel and periwinkle shells in rabbit excavations nearby.

CFA/MORA Coastal Assessment Survey 1998.
