Full Description

A project of surveying and recording the archaeological sites within the grounds of Castle Leod was carried out by members of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NOSAS) in the winter of 2012-13.

Site 5. Bridge abutment. The remains of a faced stone bridge abutment is seen on the west bank of the Peffery Burn. The abutment is 1m high and c6m in length but grossly wasted in places. A bridge is marked in this position on the 1762 map and also on the 1828 plan. The bridge is on the main access road (see site 8) to the castle. <1>
