NC56SE 41 NC 57249 61160 to 57224 61201
NC 570 620 (centre) Pre-development walkover surveys for a 3-turbine windfarm and ancillary features have identified a number of previously unrecorded archaeological sites. These will be avoided by the windfarm construction work, so have not been intrusively investigated.
Sluice. The Loch A'Mhullinn outlet burn flows NE into a small valley, the mouth of which contains a curving barrier wall from NC 57249 61160 to NC 57224 61201. The 50m long wall is 2m wide, made of roughly stacked angular masonry, and faced on the SW and NE sides which have slumped inwards to the wall core. The wall is interrupted by a roughly central, 1.5m wide, sluice channel at NC 57232 61185, partly obscured by tumbled masonry but with a strong outflow, which on the visit was over 1m deep.
Report to be lodged with Highland SMR and NMRS.
