Ancient Village or Settlement in Aberdeenshire
A late Bronze Age village of twelve hut-circles marked on both OS 1:50,000 and 1:25,000. There are also some clearance carins and reportedly some rig and farrow all visible in Balbithan Wood. The eastmost one lies almost directly due South of the entrance to the Forestry Commission car park - there is a faint path.
