Archaeology Notes

NC81SW 23 81 11.

About a mile N of Baile-nan-Coille is a group of 13 hut circles and many tumuli within a low turf fence.

Proc Soc Antiq Scot 1882.

On the scant information given, the features mentioned above cannot be identified with certainty, but may be included in NC81SW 2, NC81SW 3, NC81SW 6, NC81SW 10, NC81SW 11, NC81SW 12, NC81SW 18.

The 'tumuli' in these areas appear to be the result of field clearance.

Visited by OS (R D L) 28 April 1964.
