Full Description
The Inverness Field Club, led by Donald Coghill, surveyed a number of sites in the Aird area between 1987 and 1989. Boblainy Forest.
About 22 yards down from the forestry road there is a considerable length of low boulder walling which has two right-angled turns but otherwise is more or less parallel with the road. At the west it swings downhill in a wide semicircle and after running eastwards for a short distance in a straight line it discontinues. <1>
