Full Description

Three possible clearance cairns on Stemster Hill, Caithness.

Three possible clearance cairns 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. Clearance cairns, within a large enclosure containing rig-and-furrow agriculture. <1>

These may be dubious as they appear to lie above the rig and furrow in the LiDAR data [IS-L 28/05/2020].
