Activities

Field Visit (10 September 1997 - 10 September 1997)

To the W of the path by Loch a' Bhealaich recorded on the 1971 OS map, and S of an unnamed burn are the turf covered footings c0.8m wide and c0.3m high of a building c8m by c3m aligned N/S. Some 50m to the SE built against a huge boulder are the remains of a trapezoidal drystone structure c5m and c3m long by c4m wide with irregular stone walls up to 0.5m high and c0.7m wide.

The building has been interpreted as a deer watcher's dwelling, as the grazing is not particularly good in this area, although no building is recorded here on the earlier OS maps.
