Full Description
Post-medieval dyke at Shurrery, Caithness.
A dyke 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>
Not shown on OS 1st or 2nd edition maps so may be considerably older or more modern in origin. The line of the dyke continues southwards in the LiDAR data for another 147m beyond that recorded in the initial data analysis [IS-L 07/07/2020].
