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 low platform, aligned E/W and c8m by c4m, lies just to the south of the drystone dyke along the south side of the modern road. There is slight evidence for stone footings so this is probably the remains of a structure, though it does not seem to have been recorded on the 1837 estate map. <1>
Note: Site not visible on aerial photographs so location based on grid coordinates and site description. (TB 29/10/25)
