Archaeology Notes

NG52SE 57 5510 2255

Running between two burns which flow down the E flank of Sgurr nan Each, at about 69m OD is a line of large boulders. The majority of the boulders are 95% buried beneath the peat overburden but where they cross rocky knolls they emerge as a well built boulder boundary. It would seem likely that this is a very ancient boundary.

Visited 1991.
