Full Description
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.
Against a large boulder a drystone structure has been built measuring c2.5m by c4m . The-walls survive up to c0.75m in height and c0.4m wide, though the east wall line is not obvious. Another drystone structure c2m in diameter with boulder walls up to c0.8m high lies c10m to the west against a large rock.
These features could have been associated with the shielings by the Allt a'Gharaidh - TOR038. <1>
