Full Description

A small circular drystone structure - possibly a still - situated on the north of a burn descending west from the Bealach a'Choinich, was recorded during a survey of the West Affric estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland. It measures 1.4m in diameter with a drystone wall, composed of large stones, 0.5m wide and 0.6m high. There is a possible entrance on the downhill side to the south although this is blocked with smaller stones. It is not clear if this is the remains of a small still or something else. <1>
