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.
A round-ended drystone structure measuring c5m by c3m and aligned E/W. It is set on a ledge between two stream channels. Its walls are spread to c0.8m wide and c0.7m high. Another structure lies to the west. Three or four structures were shown in this general area in 1837 with enclosures to the east and they probably approximate to these recorded features. The people were probably cleared from here in 1845. Nothing was shown here in 1875 and the wood was planted by 1902. <1>
