NMRS Report: (19/09/2006 11:36:11)
NH77SW 64 NH 700 720 (centre)

Iron Age timber buildings. An evaluation and small excavation were undertaken in April and May 2005 in advance of a new quarry (DES 2003, 93). A number of upstanding features were revealed, including a structure and several associated clearance cairns of 19th/ 20th-century date. Trial trenching and subsequent excavation work revealed two timber buildings with an associated kiln. AMS dating gave an Iron Age date of the 1st century AD for the structures.
Full report lodged with Highland SMR and NMRS.
