Archaeology Notes

NR44NW 4 4065 4551.

NR 406 456. A low flat block, 3ft by 2ft, bearing a small cup, a basin 12ins diameter, 11ins deep, and a cup 2 1/2ins diameter, 3/4 ins deep, each with a channel downhill, is situated 100yds NE of Dunyveg Castle, on line from it to the distillery manager's house.

R W B Morris 1969; W D Lamont 1962.

NR 4065 4551. These features occur on the upper surface of a rough earthfast schist slab. The basin appears an artificial enlargement of a natural hollow; its purpose is obscure (? baithole) but it cannot be considered an antiquity. The other cups are natural erosions and depressions, and the channels are weathered fault lines.

Visited by OS (JRL) 24 June 1978.
