Full Description
NC80SW 38 8090 0340.
Noted during pre-afforestation survey and to be avoided when planting. No details given. <1>
Approximately 100m WSW of the confluence of the Allt nan Sgeith and the Glen Rock Burn, on a slight platform set onto the NE facing slope above the flood plain, are the remains of a hut circle. It is c7m in diameter between walls c0.2m high and spread c1m, with no immediately obvious entrance. The area to the NW and NE has been in cultivation in historic times so that any earlier field systems have presumably been destroyed. This site was noted by J Harden in 1990. <2>
