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 50 Cairnfield. This cairnfield to the north of the forest track is spread over the summit and southern slopes of Carn Challard, an area of 200m N-S x 140m E-W. This has recently been felled, ploughed and mounded for forestry plantation. 21 individual cairns varying in size between 0.5m to 1.4m in height and 1.5m to 6m in diameter were recorded. Some of the cairns were upstanding others had been flatten by forestry operations. The cairns are almost certainly prehistoric probably enhanced by more recent activity. Note – there was no evidence of the previously recorded hut circles (Canmore ID 14966, HC HER ID: MHG4471) within this area at GR NH 8665 2250 in 1973. <1>
Note: Sites not visible on aerial photographs so location approximate. (T. Blackie 2/8/19)
