Full Description
18th/19th century field system, walls and clearance heaps, locally thought to be hut circles and the area known as 'Ridge of the Sacrifices'.
Visited by OS (AA) 14 August 1974.
One (3.0m by 2.0m), possibly two low footings in the area indicated. Visited by OS (JB) 13 August 1980.
Visited by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in December 2009. Around 100m from the previously cited NGR a stone and earth bank running NNW/SSE was observed. It is c.100m in length, up to 0.75m high and c. 0.7m wide. The bank runs downslope towards the corner of an area of possible cultivation/lazy beds, now covered with heather.
To the north-east of the field system/ lazy beds, five obvious clearance cairns were identified. The cairns are on average c.2.5m by 4.0m and a maximum of 1.5m high. A further stone and earth bank was also observed running from the E end of the field system in a NE direction. <1>
