Description
NN 109 739 A series of 4 V-shaped enclosures, visible on aerial photographs and preserved as low banks in the landscape, extending for around 45m on a NE/SW axis. They are well preserved at their NE extent, but less well defined at the SW end, where they are overgrown. The apices of the enclosures are directed towards Fort William. These may be the remains of the Jacobite Four-gun Battery mentioned in contemporary reports of 1746. <1>
