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 well-built drystone dyke is evident extending NNE on the east bank of the Alit Dearg from NG88455736 to NG 88645775. The style of construction suggests this was erected after sheep were introduced. <1>
