MHG65490 - Possible rigs - a tributary of the Allt an Rathain
Summary
The possible remains of rig cultivation.
Type and Period (1)
Protected Status
- None recorded
Full Description
A rapid walkover survey was carried out for a WGS by J Wordsworth in 2000.
On the north side of a tributary of the Allt an Rathain is an area of bracken-clad grassland. The grassland is noticeable for being rich in white clover and this may mean it has been enriched in the past. The bracken was too dense to define features but it is possible that there are the remains of rig cultivation running west downslope. <1>
