Archaeological Notes

A sheepfold, walls and enclosures (Nosas Site Survey No.676) centred on NH 1918 5146 at an altitude of 230m and on a south facing slope on the north bank of the Allt Coir a‘ Bhuic. The site comprises a large irregular enclosure, roughly 36m x 15m bordered by a small stream to the S and a ditch to the N. There are 2 smaller structures, one integral to the enclosure and an independent one, now bisected by a modern post and wire fence. All features consist of eroded, low and discontinuous turf walls. To the east there is a large fenced area planted with young trees.
