NO09SW 5 centred 0478 9258
There are two areas of rig, three huts and a drain on the grass-covered haughland to the SW of the Lui Water 1km SSW of Derry Lodge. The huts are scattered over a distance of 250m from NW to SE and range in length from 6.2m to 10.7m in length by between 4m and 5.7m in breadth within turf walls spread to about 1.4m in thickness and 0.25m in height. One of them has an extension 4.2m long on its SE end, but with no end-wall visible (NO 0465 9273, MAR93 235). The rig is spread in two patches of about 0.3ha centred on NO 0470 9270 and NO 0485 9250 respectively and may have once been more extensive.
A drain with upcast banks on either side, which leads water from a boggy area beside a small stream, runs from NO 0488 9245 to NO 0485 9251, a distance of about 115m, where it falls into an old stream course, itself partly ditched to improve drainage, and thence into the Lui Water at NO 0477 9269.
The name Dail Rosaigh has been identified by Watson and Allan to this site (Watson and Allan 1984). The 18th century estate rentals list a farm in 1739 and 1744 called Delnrosick in Glen Lui, which would appear to belong to this site (Aberdeen University Library, MS 3175).
