Archaeology Notes

NC56NW 2 5386 6528.

A 'Colby' camp, similar to that at Creach Bheinn (NM85NE 2), but smaller, being limited by the size of the saddle it occupies, is situated beside the primary triangulation pillar on Ben Hutig. It is distinguished by having a flight of steps from the camp to the pillar.

Inf: Mr F Bellamy, Superintendent Geodetic Control, Ordnance survey, November 1971.
