Full Description
A walkover survey was conducted by S Farrell in 2000 prior to the installation of a water pipe trench during a development for an agricultural barn at Braemore. Three new sites were recorded, one of which was a turf and stone bank of c.0.4m in height eroded in sections by sheep. A watching brief of the pipe trench revealed no archaeological features or deposits. A number of clearance cairns were also identified. <1>
Erroneously recorded in DES and in CANMORE as a turf and stone fank.
During the initial walkover by S Farrell in 2000 only the northernmost end of the dyke was noted. It is visible in vertical aerial photography running for some distance to the southwest before it turns south and then southeast into an area previously used as a tree plantation. However, it is highly likey that it is the same feature as another stretch of dyke that emerges from the former plantation c.106m to the southeast and runs northwards for a futher 200m. <2>
