Full Description
Field system and clearance cairns at Tom Na Moine recorded by RCAHMS in 2006. Associated with three hut circles and one ring ditch house.
A group of three hut-circles and a possible ring-ditch house are situated on a broad terrace in moorland 270m NW of Dorback Lodge. The hut-circles lie at the SW end of a large area of clearance cairns, measuring up to 5m in diameter, which extends upslope to the NE, and is bounded by boggy ground to the NW and woodland to the SE. The terrace is heather-grown with occasional patches of grass, and the entire area is littered with tree-throws. Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, TP) 10 August 2006. <1>
The approximate area is just about visible on 2010 vertical APs. <2>
