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.
Site 24; Hut circle. The remains of this hut circle with an internal diameter of 12m are substantial. The surrounding stone and turf walls are generally 2m thick x 0.85m height however they are variable in places, the spread being 4m and the height (in a SW arc) is up to 1.5m externally. Large stones up to 0.9m square are seen in the north and NW arcs. There is a possible entrance in the SE but also a gap of 2m in the south arc. Associated with this hut circle is a field system (site 25) of 7 cairns. <1>
