Archaeology Notes

NJ86SW 17 centred 839 608.

Situated on a plateau to the SE of the Tore of Troup, 300m S of promontory fort NJ86SW 8 and NJ86SW 1100 m S of Glenhouses are at least three hut-circles. Slight traces of other, probably associated, structures lie close by.

Information from Historic Scotland, March 1994.

(Location cited as NJ 840 608 and name as Long Glen). Air photography (AAS/81/11/S11/15-16) has recorded a hut-circle on the crown of a ridge in an area of heather moor at an altitude of 165m OD. It measures 7m in diameter within a bank spread to a thickness of 2.5m.

NMRS, MS/712/36, visited 9 April 1981.
