Full Description

Possible circular features on the east side of the Achiebraeskiall Burn, Caithness.

Ten possible circular features 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. Circular features, approx 7m in diameter, ten similar features within an area of improved agriculture. Character/authenticity uncertain. <1>

None of these features are visible on any available vertical APs and in the LiDAR data measure from between 3 and 5m in diameter - possible animal feeding stations? [IS-L 28/05/2020]
