Abstract/Summary

A desk-based assessment and watching brief were undertaken during the development of a house, access and hardstanding. The site is located adjacent to Uaigh Mhurcha Riabhaich, locally considered to be the grave of a wizard killed and buried here in 1720. There is also the possibility that this is a much more extensive prehistoric site. No archaeological features were revealed during ground clearance for this site and no further archaeological work is considered necessary.
