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.
Just below the main road from Fasag to Alligin to the east of the Alit Druim na h-Uamhaidh is a c40m stretch of turf & stone dyke. It is up to elm high on the downhill (S) side and is spread to elm. No trace of it can be seen N of the road. It probably formed part of a small enclosure. <1>
