Full Description
What may be two unroofed shieling-huts, an enclosure and a field wall are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire 1881, lxxxii) and on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 1 March 1996.
A walkover survey and desk-based assessment was undertaken by J Wordsworth and J Harden at Torridon for the National Trust for Scotland in 1996-2002.
Traces of an enclosure extend south from this building (see MHG42537), south below the road but cannot be traced to the river due to later peat cuttings. <1>
