Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 17 May 1996.
The Inverness Field Club, led by Donald Coghill, surveyed a number of sites in the Aird area between 1987 and 1989. Boblainy Forest (NH 43/53 OS 477366).
There is a minor but bulky earthwork consisting of a right-angled corner situated at the S.W. of what may have been an enclosure. Its silted up ditch is at the outside and more clearly defined for a short distance on the lower south side. <1>
