Full Description
An archaeological survey in advance of afforestation was undertaken at Rhianacoil Croft, between 145m and 120m OD on the N-facing slope centred around the abandoned long-houses and associated enclosure marked on the 1:10,000 map.
Most of the land had been the subject of an agricultural improvement grant about twenty years ago.
No new upstanding features of archaeological interest were noted within the area of improved ground, or that to the N and W. Known remains were recorded. A sub-rectangular building 12.75m long and between 3.7m: 4.8m wide was discovered; a dyke, crescent-shaped mound and enclosure wall were also recorded.
