Full Description
In August 2015, a walkover survey was undertaken in Braehour, Halkirk by Anne Coombs on behalf of the Forestry Commission Scotland to identify and demarcate archaeological sites in advance of clear fell operations.
Possible shieling: there are mounds c.5m by c.4m and c.0.5m high on the west bank of Allt Loch Meadie. These may represent more shieling mounds. They were marked by gps, taped along the edge of the plantation and photographed. <1>
