Field Visit (25 October 1987)

NO16NW 58 1075 6933

On the NE side of the modern head-dyke and beside an old turf-and-stone dyke that extends downslope for a distance of about 130m, there are the turf-covered remains of what may be a building with an enclosure on its N side. The building measures 8.8m from E to W by 5.5m transversely over turf-covered banks up to 1.2m in thickness and 0.3m in height; the enclosure measures 6.5m by 5.8m internally.

Visited by RCAHMS (IMS/JP) 25 October 1987.

Field Visit (5 February 2018 - 8 February 2018)

A pre-afforestation survey was undertaken of an area of hillside rough pasture on the N-facing slopes of Meall Uaine and Craig Bhinnean, on the S side of Glen Shee. Previous work had identified six sites within the proposed area of planting, including building and enclosure remains and an extensive pre-Improvement field system. Following a desk-based review of available sources, a site visit was made to assess the likely impact on known sites and record any new features encountered. Recommendations include a buffer zone to protect the field system and associated remains.
