Full Description

Loch Barabhaig Survey site 3
JW 4/5/2001

A rectangular platform was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in 2000. It was 8m long aligned WNW/ESE with a slight ditch visible on the W, N & E and it was almost certainly the site of a robbed out turf building. The width of the building was uncertain as the platform spreads out c8m to the S. The area was covered in bracken and there may well be other features not spotted in this area. It was recommended that the site be eft unplanted with a 20m buffer. Further examination in late winter may reveal other features nearby. Spraying of the bracken in this are is desirable. <1>

There are no features recorded on the 1st or 2nd edition OS maps at this site.
