Project (2009)

This project is part of the Forestry Commission's management strategy to recognise and safeguard sites in advance of timber operations that may be potentially damaging to the archaeological resource.

This historic landscape survey was undertaken at Elchies.

Field Visit (2009)

NJ 2360 4664

A cairn on this hilltop is probably modern.

NJ 2315 4667

A small collection of stones measuring c3m in diameter appears to make use of natural boulders, on the downslope side, against which further stones are set. It might be a clearance cairn (its slightly

hollowed centre would argue against this), or it could be the remains of a kiln associated with the possible farmstead noted under NJ24NW 24.
