Full Description

Between May and August 2012, a survey was undertaken by the North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NoSAS) to identify, survey, and record the archaeological remains at Achadh Mor, Loch Garve.

Rogie Quarry (alternative name Tarvie Wood)

Hut circle. The well preserved remains of a hut circle, covered in rank heather and mature birch trees are located just inside land owned by FCS (2012) above and c50m from the SW rim of a now disused quarry on the SW side of the Blackwater River at Rogie. The internal diameter of the hut circle is c8m and the walls are of stone, c1.5m wide surviving to c0.5m high, with inner and outer faces comprised of individual large stones. There are possible entrances/openings in the west and southeast arcs. The possible remains of a collapsed enclosure wall run away from the hut circle in a north westerly direction towards a rock outcrop. A small burn runs nearby. <1>
