Full Description
An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.
Old settlement area; this area of pre-clearance cultivation is probably associated with the un-named settlement marked above the military road on the Roy map. Cultivation rigs and an enclosing turf dyke. Turf dykes also appear to extent out onto the shore, and there are confused features on the shoreline, including some apparently modern cuttings. <1>
