Full Description

Between the two grid points listed above are a pair of low banks c20m apart. Immediately to the W is a small plantation and an improved field but to the W of the modern road is a tree-lined avenue leading to Dale House. The banks appear to align directly with this avenue to form a continuous line from Dale House to the Achlachan Burn. These banks are of limited archaeological value but may have significant landscape value. <1>
