Full Description
An archaeological desk-based study and subsequent walk-over survey of an area Bank, in Rogart, Sutherland, was undertaken in September 2011 by Dr Nick Lindsey to determine the viability of planting trees in part of the area.
South corner of the remains of an unroofed building set on top of a dry, heather covered broad knoll, SSE of the targets. The low heather covered walls are 0.7m wide and stand <0.4m high. There are occasional stones, but the walls now remain mainly as mounded earth. The building measures 11m x 3m and its side walls trend 1260. A 1m wide entrance is situated at the SE endof the SW wall and is marked by stone. 7m to the SW is a wall of similar construction, possibly part of an outhouse/earlier dwelling,measuring 4m x 4m. <1>
