Archaeology Notes

Air photographs, taken by Jill Harden in 1989, are in Inverness Museum (8905.05-06 INVMG).

Information from J Harden, 1989.

Recent aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 1995) suggests that a narrow palisade defines this enclosure. A crescentic mark measuring about 10m in diameter and visible in the NE side of the interior may represent a roundhouse. There are a number of indeterminate cropmarks and pits scattered across the same field.

Information from RCAHMS (KJ) 13 October 1999.
