Full Description
A pre-forest planting archaeological survey of Dunrobin Glen was undertaken by Harden. J, in 1990.
4: A small flat-topped grass and low heather covered spur of ground about the 170m contour. It is sub-circular in shape, clOm by 12m, and is thought to be the platform of a prehistoric hut circle. No enclosing wall has survived. A low, heather-covered dyke runs away in a zig-zag easterly direction from it. The surrounding slope is covered in thick, deep heather, masking any associated field clearance heaps, dykes or lynchets that might be present. <1>
