Full Description

Post-medieval dykes at Archreregan, Caithness.

Dykes 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. <1>

They appear to be embankments intended to prevent flooding of farmland by the adjacent burn.
