A boundary dyke, which may be traced over a distance of some 900m to the N and NE of Creag Bheag, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey on Balavil Estate, Kingussie. It is 1m wide and 0.5m high. The dyke, which is not depicted on either the 1st or the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1872 and 1903, sheet lxxxvii), is shown, in part on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1994).
