Full Description
NH68NE 82 6575 8920
A field-system, which is depicted as two adjacent clearings in Ledmore Wood on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879-81, sheet cxi) was recorded during the course of a forestry survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25, no.21).
The clearings are defined by stone banks and clearance heaps. There is a single platform, measuring 8m by 6m, in the centre of the W field and a small enclosure at the E limit.

NH 66 90 (centre) A short-notice forestry survey was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd over roughly 7.5sq km of land to the W of Spinningdale on the northern shore of the Dornoch Firth. A total of 28 features or groups of features of archaeological interest were recorded, 19 of which had previously been noted.
