Full Description
NM86SW 37 831 607 to 833 603.
Low wall foobngs and boulders below the high water line mark the two ends of a tidal fish trap which once extended across the head of Loch Sunart, a distance in excess of 500m. Changes in the course of the River Carnoch, which enters the loch here, have obliterated the rest of the barrier, which would probably have been of wickerwork.
Robert Cameron, Dalbeag, Strondan, recalls that many years ago the older men with whom he went fishing here, referred to the area as the 'Carraidh' (i.e. fish trap or weir in Gaelic).
