Description

A survey was carried out of the recorded township at Rogie, preceded by prior documentary research. The location of the township features was recorded using GPS, and the remains were then photographed and a drawn and written record made. Two groups of buildings were surveyed using a plane table. Examination of the surrounding area resulted in the identification of a number of other features, including a large group of cup marked stones and a ringed earthwork. 77 features were recorded in total, grouped into 10 individual sites. <1>
