Full Description
A project to survey and record archaeological features at Inverlaidnan and Sluggan (originally named Inchluin) was undertaken by NOSAS members in 2018.
Site 11. Field clearance cairns. An area of field clearance cairns roughly 150m x 50m lies on a S facing slope of impoverished ground. The cairns vary from c0.2m to c2.5m high and c0.5m to c5m in diameter. They also vary in character; some have visible stone throughout, others appear to be almost entirely of turf or peat. <1>
