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. A slight sub-rectangular mound recorded on a relatively level and well-drained terrace may have defined the position of an abandoned structure. The mound measured 6 m eastwest by 4 m and had relief no greater than 0.2 m. Its edges contained several stones, suggesting the presence of highly decayed walls. A further cluster of stones lay within the structure. This feature was not recorded on any OS map editions and thus probably pre-dates the 19th century. The terrace had richer vegetation than surrounding areas and mole-hills were present, together suggesting the presence of enriched soils at this location. <1>
