Full Description
Bridgend
Situated on the south side of the river, this site was recorded by NOSAS in 2007 as part of the Scotland's Rural Past Project and is on both sides of a minor burn, with an extensive area of improved ground on the valley floor to the north. The site is at a point where the main road turns abruptly to cross the river from the south bank to the north; a track continues on the south side and may have been the original approach road to Dalbreac House.
759 Wall - NH 32102 54801 (east end) A substantial wall running parallel and on the north side of the track. It is of dry stone construction and “turfed up” on the north side, so that it has a substantial spread of 2-2.5m. It is generally 1m in height and continues west for several 100 metres.
