Full Description
At the top of the beach about 240m E of the broch at Loch Poll an Dunain there is a disused boat naust measuring 3.5m in length by 2m in breadth within a roughly built wall 1.1m thick and 0.3m high. From the High Water Mark below it a slipway has been cleared, running SW down the stony beach for about 50m.
This bay is annotated on Morrison's 1775 map of the Barony of Coigach (SRO, E 746/189) as the 'beach where they haul up their boats', but no structures are depicted.
