Full Description
NH 934 194 (centred)
A strip of ground to the East of the now drained lochan and North of the former drainage ditch has recently been cultivated as shown in the photograph. Strips left between the ploughings and used to heap field clearance stones may be the residue of a former strip sytem of cultivation. This is a tentative interpretation but if correct would be an important survival of the field system associated
with Ballinluig and Balnacruie. The ground here appears to be stonier than the area to the North which may explain why cultivation was previously abandoned here
