Full Description
A series of substantial turf-and stone banks, thought to be plantation banks were recorded during a forestry survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25, no.13) . The banks, which are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879, sheet cxi) correspond with areas of woodland mapped by Burnett and Scott (1853) and which pre-date the more general period of tree-planting around 1870. Only short sections were observed in the field where the banks were found to be well-preserved and stable. <1>
