Full Description
A walkover survey and desk-based assessment for the National Trust estate at Torridon was carried out by J Wordsworth and J Harden between 1996 and 2002.
This sheep fank is marked on the OS map, at the break in slope, just to the south of the burn from Loch a Choin Dhuibh. The fank measures c8m by c6m over walls c0.6m thick at the base - the rough, drystone construction being two stones wide at its base and one stone at its top. There is a west facing entrance. The fank may have been associated with the main structure at TOR114. <1>
