Activities

Field Visit (10 September 1997 - 10 September 1997)

There are 3 pronounced mounds c4m in diameter on the N side of an unnamed burn on the W side of Loch Gaorsaic. These could not be positively identified and may just be natural flood heaps but they were interpreted during the site visit as possible shieling mounds.
