Full Description
A rapid walk-over archaeological survey was carried out in 1999 by J. Wordsworth as part of the preparation for a planned Community Woodland in Knoydart. <1>
Site 13b: Between site 12 and Torr an Tighe turf dykes define an area of former cultivation, now bracken-clad. The walls though slumped, are reasonably well-defined. The approximate position of the enclosure walls is as shown. At The east end of the enclosure beyond the Torr Tighe crags and 5m south of the modern power line are the remains of an oval boulder walled enclosure or structure 5m by 3m aligned E/W. The walls are mostly collapsed but survive up to 0.5m high. <1>
