Craigowl

Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork

drewbhoy Jan 8, 2015

Walk in a north westerly (or march since you will walking past a military base) direction heading towards a gate in the distance. This is the lower reaches of Craigowl Hill easily recognised by all the masts on top of if.

There are 2 similarly sized hut circles both around 8-9 meters in width with tremendous views looking south towards the Tay. Both seem to be in reasonable condition.
