Full Description

A walkover survey was carried out by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2021 on behalf of Treeline Forestry Limited and Fairburn Estate in advance of proposed woodland creation schemes.

Site 98: Possible hut circle - located on prominent grassy knoll a short distance to the northeast of the stalkers track near Auchederson, are what could be the very degraded remains of a hut circle. This is represented by an arcing stone and turf bank spread 0.8>2.2m wide and standing between 0.2>0.5m high (on the south to southeast side of the knoll). If this was the location of a hut circle, it has been extensively robbed or modified by later agricultural activities (this area does comprise an extensive area of grassland). When view from the south, the site resembles a dished hollow (see image 185). A large, single clearance cairn is located to the east and measures 4.5m long x 0.4m high and is grass covered. <1>
