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.
A cart shed aligned NNE/SSW c4m by c3m over walls up to c2m high and c0.6m wide which hold back the bank into which the structure has been built. The open end of the structure faces out onto the road (NNEwards). Fragments of the cart frame and leather harness lie inside, as do the remains of the tin roof, which was probably single pitched - the heighest side being the SSE side. MM records this as being the Braigh Beag cart shed at one time. <1>
