Full Description
A DBA and walkover survey was carried out by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in 1997 advance of a proposed woodland grant scheme at Morvich, Sutherlan
Another irregular drystone enclosure incorporating large boulders lies just to the east of the modern track and was not shown on the 1:2,500 map. It appears to consist of an oval building 9m by 5m with an enclosing wall to the E. This looks earlier in date to the rectangular buildings at Site 1/10. <1>
