Full Description
GR centred on NH 8115 2883 and situated two hundred metres to the south of Raigbeg, the scanty remains of a previously unrecorded township are seen in a field on the east side of the Wade road. The township of Meikle Raigbeg is marked on the Roy map of c1750 in this location but the settlement does not appear on First Edition OS map of 1875. The township is situated at the lower end of a linear area, which is marked as wooded on the FES. It has the remains of tree stumps and is adjacent and parallel to the Wade road. The township comprises the low, barely discernable, turf footings of at least 5 buildings, a corn drying kiln, a possible enclosure and several pits – see plan. A farm track runs through the centre of the township and some of the buildings have been truncated, in other places more recent dumping of clearance material may obscure features. <1>
