Field Visit (August 1973)
(NR 446 732) The remains of a small enclosure stand on the left bank of Abhainn a' Chnuic Bhric about 200m NW of the former township of Cnocbreac. The enclosure measures about 20m from NW to SE by 12m transversely within an upcast bank and shallow outer ditch, part of which seems to occupy a former meander bed of the burn. Although no tombstones are now visible, this place is locally reputed to have been used as a burial-ground.
