Field Visit (2 October 1990)

NG26SE 8 257 648.

There are at least seven and possibly eight mounds, aligned from NE to SW along the N side of a burn to the NW of Caisteal an Fhithich. Most are heather covered and all have some structure on them. Some of the mounds show some sequence, earlier structures protruding from the body of the mound. An intermittent bank runs along the side of the burn. (WAT90 531-537)
