Full Description
A turf and stone dyke was recorded during an NTS pre-afforestation survey of Kintail and West Affric in 1997. It was spread to c.1.1m wide and c.0.6m high and ran along the north bank of an un-named burn. At the south end of the dyke, near the river Croe, and possibly built out of the dyke, was a tiny stone structure c1m diameter over walls c0.3m wide and c0.2m high. Some 30m to the north was another, similar, dyke which was aligned c.north-south but which was isolated from any other features. <1>
The dykes are just about visible in vertical aerial photographs. <2> <3>
