Archaeology Notes

HU31SE 23 363 117.

Hibbert (S Hibbert 1822) says there was (in 1822) an intrenchment on Garths Ness (name: HU 363 117), 'probably the work of marauding Highlanders'. This was found out too late for inquiries to be made on the ground as to whether it still exists.

Name Book 1878; Examiner's Footnote 14 November 1978.
