Enclosure and possible cairn at Ruttle Wood.

Type and Period (2)

Protected Status

Full Description

The Inverness Field Club, led by Donald Coghill, surveyed a number of sites in the Aird area between 1987 and 1989. Ruttle Wood.
On a terrace below and to the N.W. of a forestry track there is rough stone walling enclosing the greater portion of a level, bracken infested, area. It has two wide gaps and a much narrower one at the east end where at this point there is a parallel short length of similar walling offset from the gap and a few yards further out from this irregular shaped kraal. Near to and at the N.W. of this gap there is what might be a robbed cairn tight up against the walling at the inside of this puzzling enclosure. <1>
