Archaeology Notes

NG62SW 63 6253 2252

On a W-facing slope overlooking the Broadford River amongst rock outcrops in open grassland are the remains of two arcs of boulders. One is built against an outcrop and measures 2.8m N-S by 2.3m E-W and forms a small enclosure. The second lies 23m to the SE and forms a horse shoe 3.3m N-S by 3.5m E-W with its open end facing to the N.

Visited by R Miket 6 April 1990.
