Full Description
A DBA and walkover survey were carried out by GUARD in 2009 in advance of a proposed wind farm development at Glenmorie.
Site 36: Possible shieling/shelter. Situated directly on the northern side of a recently upgraded track is a possible structure, roughly rectangular in shape measuring 10 m E-W by 6m N-S.
