Monument record MHG28256 - Possible firing range features, Little Rogart

The stone foundations of the two ends of what may be a dam are visible on either side of an unnamed burn that runs down the E of Little Rogart. No trace of a mill-structure could be found on the date of visit. One unroofed structure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879, sheet civ) which may be a mill or a structure belonging to the Volunteers' Rifle Range.

The report for a rapid walkover survey conducted in 2011 notes that the "two ends of what may be a dam" seem more likely to be either natural features or field clearance heaps. The report also suggests that the structure was most likely a target for the rifle range mentioned in <1>. <2>

On an assessment of the available information it is suggested that both the features described above are likely to be associated with the rifle range. The orientation of the line that is depicted in the RCAHMS survey data as a water feature (presumably the line of the dam mentioned above although not shown crossing the burn) corresponds well with the orientation of similar features shown as part of the rifle range further north. The structure mentioned in <1> is almost certainly associated with the firing range, being depicted on the 25 inch 1st edition Ordnance Survey map close to the annotation "800 yds". <3><4>
