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 distinct mound opposite the sheepfank TOR158, are the tumbled remains of a structure. It is aligned NW-SE and is c6m by c3m over walls cXXm thick and cXXm high. Two mature rowans grow out of the centre of this structure obscuring its form. It has been considered by R Gourley (HC Archaeo in the 1980s pers comm) that the mound may mark a ?prehistoric burial. <1>
