This is a gravel and pebble bottomed ford. The burn was in spate due to wet weather, so passage was impossible. Due to the effects of spating, the area in the vicinity of the ford is very eroded. A short distance to the W of this feature a burn is eroding the N side of the track.
M Logie (Highland Council) 1997; NMRS MS 1007/6.
Scheduled as part of 'Fort Augustus-Bernera Military Road, 1890m W of Ceannacroc Lodge... a stretch of mid-18th-centry military road which now survives as a grass- and heather-covered track.
