There is "a small grassy mound situated on a green plot of pasture on the N bank of Abhuinn Droma and the S side of the county road directly opposite the 19 mile stone from Garve, and 13 from Ullapool.
It is supposed to be the site of a forge or iron works as the mound consists of the remains of coal, iron, etc, but no date or information concerning it can be obtained."
Name Book 1875
This mound is situated at NH 2262 7678. The top is much mutilated as though by old quarrying. No trace of iron working.
