Full Description

A circular feature covered with heather was seen near Fastly, Farr, Sutherland, during a walkover survey by Highland Archaeological Services in 2007 prior to a proposed wind farm development. It was visible as a slight ring in the heather with some stones and green moss visible. It appeared to be too small to be a hut circle. It lay close to a proposed access track and it was recommended that it should be investigated if construction works were to affect this area. <1>
