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.
A turf and stone dyke can be traced from the Abhainn Coire Mhic Nobuil to a rock face close to the modern(?) water tank used by Torridon House. In places massive stone boulders c2m in diameter have been incorporated into this dyke. It does not appear to continue beyond the point shown, though it may have been linked by a now robbed turf wall to the dyke at TOR070. <1>
