Archaeology Notes

NC96SE 96 9899 6355

A single undressed, roughly triangular stone (NMRS, MS 738/25, no.5) was recorded, during the course of a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland) Ltd, to the E of Achrasker. The stone, which is 0.3m wide and 0.4m high, is possibly a waymarker or boundary marker as there was no markings or signs of animal rubbing on the surfaces.

A Smith and D Rankin, AOC (Scotland) Ltd, November 1995; NMRS MS 738/25
