Field Visit (10 September 1997 - 10 September 1997)
Some 20m N of the path up the glen where the land narrows towards the Allt Choinneachain and Gob na Roinne are the stone footings of a building measuring c7m by c2.5m internally across walls c 0.8m wide and c0.3m high. A possible yard c10m square lies immediately to the S.
The siting of this building at a narrow neck of land close to the path suggests it was used by a deer watcher or keeper. If so, the building is likely to be later 19th century in date, though there is no record of a building here on the 2nd edition OS map.
