NS 13640 89416 At an elevation of c100m on the track leading up to the well-known Paper Caves on the W side of Loch Eck is a broad flat sub-circular recessed platform 9m in diameter. The rear scarp is approximately 2m high; below the front is natural rock. In front of the platform, the ground slopes downhill at 45°. There is a widespread scatter of small pieces of charcoal across the platform, but no hearth or other evidence of a recent fire.
