Field Visit (10 April 1997 - 10 April 1997)
A 60m stretch of drystone walling, now no more than 0.3m max height and c0.6m wide extends along the N side of the N branch of the Invershiel Burn. The turf and stone wall extends a further 17m W of the junction of the two burns but is then no longer visible, possibly because it has been robbed out by peat cutting.
This is thought to be a township boundary dating to before the introduction of sheep defining the area of An Cnapach round to Uchd an t-Sabhail from Invershiel.
