Description

Stuart Farrell was commissioned by UPM Tilhill in July 2009 to undertake an archaeological desktop and walkover survey for a block of proposed forestry at Knockinnon, Houstry, Highland. Work revealed two previously recorded archaeological sites; both being chambered cairns though one had been partly reused as a sheepfold. The proposed scheme lies within a wider area of archaeological interest. A number of recommendations have been made. <1>
