Full Description
An area of rectangular concrete bases to the northwest of Balnagall. They are presumably related to the former Tain Accomodation area to the north on the opposite side of the road. They are visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 2005 (part of the 'Millennium Map' series). <1>
At some point between 2009 and 2018 some of the southernmost bases close to the Balnagall farmhouse were removed as more of the area was brought into use as garden ground. <2> <3>
