Full Description
NN16SW 26 1151 6024 and 1147 6022
Two drystone shooting butts (NMRS MS 738/31, nos.81 and 82), situated on the N-facing slopes above the road on the S side of Loch Leven, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland Ltd). Both structures are horseshoe-shaped; the NE structure measures 6m from N to S by 5m whilst that to the SW measures 4m from E to W by 3.5m and stands 1m high externally and 1.5m high internally. There are stone-built gun-loops in the top course of walling which may suggest a military origin, perhaps as pillboxes.
