Full Description
A possible hut circle to the northeast of Cnoc Freiceadain, Caithness.
Possible hut circle identified in LiDAR data gathered by AOC Archaeology in 2011 as part of the mitigation for the visual impact on the archaeological landscape associated with the proposed Baillie Hill windfarm, Caithness. Small circular feature, one of four possible hut-circles located within modern peat drainage. <1>
This feature is too small to be a hut circle, it may be a shieling hut but it looks very similar to features nearby that are cleary visible on vertical APs as former animal feeding stations. [IS-L 27/05/2020].
