Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 17 June 1996
A walkover survey was carried out by John Wombell, Anne Coombs and other members of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NOSAS) in April 2013 over 2.5 days of an area of Dirr Wood near Dorres. This investigation was carried out to try and put the then recently discovered late Bronze Age hoard at Dores into context with potential sites in the surrounding landscape. This enclosure wall measuring approximately 135m in length was described as very decayed consisting of mostly boulders. <1>
