Full Description
In August 2015, a walkover survey was undertaken in Morangie Forest, Edderton by Anne Coombs on behalf of the Forestry Commission Scotland to identify and demarcate archaeological sites in advance of pre-thinning operations.
A turf dyke lies to the east of a ruined farmstead and is likely to be associated with it. It runs north-south for c.100m (according to the1st Ed OS) along the west edge of the forestry plantation. (see MHG62385). <1>
