Easter Rarichie Hillfort View all content for Easter Rarichie

From Easter Rarichie farm it's a reasonably easy walk to the nearby fort/dun situated on the north east side of the Hill of Nigg. Multiple ramparts and ditches surround the slopes leading up to the top of the small hill. These are hard to spot because of long grass, turf and the more usual types of heavy vegetation. You get a better view of the defences by standing a fair distance from the fort especially to the north. After following the grass track, which swings past the southern defences, the remnants of a roundhouse are all that remain in the interior of the fort. There is is a lot going here as the various excavations and notes explain in the Canmore link. Tremendous views and immediately west another dun. Visited 27/12/2022.
