Full Description
NG20NE 8 2801 0544.
(NG 2801 0544) Slight traces of ancient (prob Dark Ages) settlement at Alman. Test holes, 1953.
Private 6" map of T C Lethbridge, 1953.
A stack accessible by a natural gulley on the N side. Along the top of the cliff on the N side, are traces of a turf-covered wall and a possible structure none of which seems substantial enough for a fort. The interior of the stack has had lazybed cultivation and it is probable that the stack has been the site of minor settlement.
Sherds of coarse handmade pottery have been found in debris at the foot of the N face. Date uncertain (Information from Mr J L Campbell, Canna House).
Visited by OS (I S S) 26 May 1972.
