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 substantial wall c2m wide formed of stones c1-2m square, and with smaller rounded stone hearting, partly survives on the NE side of Am Ploc. It consists of a c6m stretch of walling running in a ?NW direction from an outcrop of rock. It then turns to run for c2m to the SW. If continued for another c9m this would touch another rock outcrop. The function of this wall is uncertain but it may once have formed a small harbour now silted up.. It is more massive than the fishtrap (TOR097) to the NW. <1>
