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 massive rock some c4m by c2m by c2m is propped over another fallen rock to form a small chamber c4m by c2m by c0.5m high. The floor is paved with flat sandstone slabs. Drystone walls partially collapsed fill the gaps between the rocks. Behind this directly against the rock face is a small chamber c1 .5m by c1.5m with walling only c0.3m high and c0.3m wide. <1>
