Field Visit (7 September 2012)
NN 2251 8262 – NN 2243 8205 A walkover survey was undertaken on 7 September 2012 in advance of the construction of a hydro-electric scheme at Blairour, Spean Bridge. One rectangular enclosure was recorded, c9m (NW–SE) x 9.5m (SW–NE), lying on a flat shoulder in the valley of the Allt Odhar, and it was formed of overgrown stone and earth banks. It is cut on the SE side by the steep slope down to the burn and has probably been eroded. There is a clear entrance in the middle of the NW side and gaps in the NE and SW sides, although these seem likely to be the result of erosion. The enclosure should not be affected by the development.
