Full Description
Remains of numerous small clearance cairns dispersed over an area of circa 1 hectare. The features are ill-defined and heather growth is strongly established. The site was recorded during rapid walkover carried out by D Hall in March 2021 ahead of proposed woodland creation scheme. This noted an area of circa 1 ha which had been cleared in the past containing a number of small mounds.
