Full Description
A walkover survey in advance of a proposed afforestation scheme at Glen Spean was carried out by the Centre for Archaeology in 1998. An unenclosed rectilinear patch of improved ground, measuring c. 50 m N-S by 40 m, was located on the west slopes of Cruaidh Bheinn, appearing as a grassed area within moorland. The ground was occupied by a series of cultivation rigs running east-west, with a wave amplitude of 3-5 m and with surface relief of no more than 0.2 m. It was interpreted as an abandoned hill-field or "achadh". Similar patches of improved ground were visible in the vicinity, although these showed no evidence of rig cultivation. <1>
