An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in September 2004 in advance of proposed residential development. The site is to the SE of Aberfeldy and covers an area of 2.65ha, containing a cup-marked stone and a landscape feature depicted on the OS 1st edition map: a natural semi-circular mound with modern revetting/levelling. A rough path was identified around the northern edge of the feature.
The cup-marked stone was located and photographically recorded. There was no evidence of a folly or other landscape feature on the mound. Other evaluation trenches revealed nothing of archaeological significance.
