Full Description

NH75SE 29 7753 5001

'Possible burnt mound': No details given.
J Wordsworth 1991. <1>

See also MHG53687. A wedge-shaped area of fire-cracked stones in charcoal silt was identified during observation on the route of the Nairn to Inverness pipeline. It was partially obscured by ploughsilt. <2>

The NGR originally used for this record is probably incorrect, as both <1> and <2> give the same NGR of NH 7753 5001. The NGR was therefore altered. <3>
