Field Visit (5 September 1997 - 5 September 1997)
On a steep slope just after the Allt an Fhraoich-choire joins the Allt Grannda on its S side is a short stretch of loose drystone walling c30m long, c0.6m wide and c0.5m high designed to prevent stock, particularly sheep, from straying down this precipitous gorge. It is presumed that this dyke was built in conjunction with that upstream, to the west (KIN128).
