Field Visit (26 August 1997 - 26 August 1997)
A 30m stretch of ?drystone dyke is visible E of the new track down Glen Lichd and S of the flow of the Allt Coire a' Mhadaidh. The dyke only survives to its basal course c0.9m wide and c0.2m high but its surviving construction and linear course SW/NE suggest it is 'relatively' recent in date. The rest lies under either the new track or scree from the burn flooding.
Some 13m SE of the SW end of the surviving dyke and c20m from the track is an oval feature defined by a ring of stones c4m by c3m over stones c0.6m wide and c0.3m high.
