Full Description
NH48NE 5 463 877 to 463 883.
A series of eight isolated rectangular structures associated with extensive series of field banks were observed over the W side of Glen Calvie. The field banks appear to form a system of long narrow enclosures over more gently sloping ground at the S end of the survey area. To the N, a single dyke extends along the crest of a steep scarp slope. A well preserved corn-drying kiln was recorded beside the Allt na Ceardaich.
CFA 1991w.
Three unroofed buildings, two unroofed structures, two enclosures and a head-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire and Cromartyshire 1881, sheet xxv).
