Archaeology Notes

NO65SW 49.05 centred 61374 52266

Three areas of buildings and huts have been identified from vertical air photographs (106G/Scot/UK 6, 3240-3241, flown 14 April 1946).

The small group of Nissen huts situated about 300m W of Bolshan farmsteading in plan (NO 6160 5230), are set out in an L-shape and about 300m to the N another group of larger huts is visible within a square enclosure (NO 6170 5198).

The largest group is centred at NO 61374 52266, where a combined three hut unit is visible on the air photographs. This unit is depicted on the current OS 1:2500 scale digital map.

Apart from the three hut unit, all other evidence for the hutted camps has been removed.
