Full Description

Possible clearance cairns in Cawdor Wood. The features are visible in SEPA/Scottish Gov LiDAR data and cover an area c.357m x 200m. They are clearly earlier than the woodland and since Timothy Pont shows this as 'Cawdor Park', so either a medieval or early post-medieval deer park, they may be medieval in date. There are also four possible hut circles in the area to the west (see MHG65438-41) so they may be prehistoric. <1>
