Details Cropmarks of a barrow cemetery recorded by the RCAHMS from 1976 onwards during continued aerial reconnaissance. The ditches of a number of circular and square barrows are visible. They indicate the presence of a small cemetery on a broad terrace above an area of low-lying ground southwest of Invergighty Cottage. The cemetery includes at least two circular barrows measuring about 7m and 20m in diameter respectively, together with two contiguous, square barrows, each about 8m square and sharing one common side. The area is overlain by rig and furrow oriented Northwest-Southeast, also visible as cropmarks.
