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.
An irregular low stone dyke which runs up the W side of the Allt nan Gobhar, nowhere more than c0.5m high and c0.5m wide. It has possibly been repaired in places as it appears to follow different alignments up the hill. Stretches of walling c5m long are visible on both sides of the Allt Gharaidh after it has been joined by the Allt nan Gobhar. <1>
