Full Description

A barracuda plane is alleged to have crashed on the S side of Creag Riabhach. No further information about the circumstances surrounding the crash has been uncovered.
Information supplied by Dr N L indsay, 07/09/04

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey were carried out by CFA Archaeology in 2019 in advance of a proposed wind farm development at Kintradwell, Sutherland. Not visited during field survey as the location lies well away from any proposed development area. (It is probable that this record is a duplicate for another HER entry (MHG30842) for a Barracuda crash on Col Bheinn, where there is visible wreckage). <1>
