Full Description
An earthwork bank and small cairn noted in a walkover survey in advance of the proposed Culachy Windfarm.
The feature was recorded in 2013 during a walkover survey by Headland Archaeology. Arc of turf-covered bank, roughly 50m long, set below line of lynchet in pasture field, in and around which trees have previously been planted, their stumps remaining in situ. A moss-covered stone cairn (3 x 2.5m), formed of large rounded stones, is located at NH 37515 07146. <1>
From 2020 vertical aerial photogarphs it would appear that the features have been ploughed away [IS-L 18/01/2022].
