Full Description
Allt Mhic Fannain
Buildings and enclosures (928 – 934) - centred on NH 2664 5130 This group of features is situated on a gentle SE facing slope of easier ground with the Allt Mhic Fannain to the north and were recorded by NOSAS in 2007 as part of the Scotland's Rural Past Project. It is one km to the NNE of Inverchoran, at an altitude of 200m. The ground is generally heathery and marshy here but the enclosures and one of the buildings are situated on well drained and improved land in the NW part of the area where the slope begins to steepen. Two of the buildings and a pit are on poorer slightly higher ground overlooking the River Meig.
931 Enclosure - NH 26807 51432 (centre) An oval shaped enclosure roughly 70m x 60m, this is much more wasted and the surrounding walls are barely discernable. It is very heathery with just a few grass patches. <1>
