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). Three unroofed buildings, three enclosures, some field walls and a head-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1992).
