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.
Clearance cairn; it may be that the nearby ruined farmsteads (see MHG20807/20851) have been cleared in the past and removed to the edge of the nearby rides where there are 2 large clearance cairns (also see MHG62388). <1>
