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.
Situated on the east side of a small burn that runs from Glen Cottage and enters the Torridon River to the west of Eas Mor are the remains of a round ended building aligned E/W. It measures c7m by c3m and its drystone walls survive to between c0.5m and c0.8m in height and c0.4m wide. On the north side it has been built into the raised bank of the river. The entrance is on the south. This was presumably part of the settlement at Doire Voluich, though it was not recorded in 1837 or on later maps. <1>
