Monument record MHG24931 - Baileguish

Visited Sunday 29th June 2003. Weather fine and sunny. A farmstead of at least one unroofed building was identified from aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) at NN 8188 9815. No evidence of a building was found at this location, but a number of trailing earth banks, boundaries and field clearance were identified.

Northern Earthbank - from NN 81740 98475(west end) to NN 82232 98590 (east end)
A substantial earth and stone bank, 500m in length, dividing improved land in the north, adjacent to the Allt Chomraig, from poorer heather covered land to the south. The bank is made up of much clearance material and may be of recent origin. At its west end it is more “winding” and amorphous. There appears to be a small stretch of earthbank running parallel and 15m distant at this point.

Southmost Earth bank - from NN 81703 98435 (west end) to NN81941 98469 (east end)
A substantial earth and stone bank, 250m in length, running roughly parallel to the previous one. Variable in height from 0.5 - 0.8m and width from 1 - 1.5m. Heather covered. Appears to be the older of the two earthbanks.

Clearance cairn - NN 81825 98489
A flat cairn of clearance material 3m in diameter
