Footings of small bothy opening on to an area of cobbled flooring, possibly a turf-walled bothy.
M MacDonald 1992.
Field Visit (1996 - 1998)
Immediately above the main zig-zag bend in the road to Diabeg, on its W side, are the slight remains of a structure with what appears to be a 'paved' area associated with it. Aligned roughly W-E, it measures c5.5m by c2m, defined by a few boulders poking through the grass.
MM describes it as the footings of a sub-square bothy opening at the W side to a rectangular cobbled area - no walls - turf? - measuring up to c2.2m by 2m.
About 100m to the W, below the outcopping rocks is a wee stone structure c1.5m in diameter.
