Details Natural hill of three small knolls between which human bones were found during the 19th Century (and possibly earlier). The Trans Inverness Sci Soc Field Club reported in 1908 that a flint scraper, nodules of roasted iron ore, wood charcoal, bones and teeth of oxen and curiously fractured stones, had also been discovered at this site below a 12ft (3.65m) thick layer of sand and gravel. It was suggested at this time that the site could be an early bloomery.
