Full Description

A small stretch of drystone dyke, which is situated immediately N of the road into Badrallach at the point where the Allt Mor Chill-donain meets the road, was recorded during the course of a pre-afforestation survey undertaken by J Wordsworth. It is about 5m long and although its purpose seems unclear it appears to cut off a narrow gully and may form an enclosure in the level terrace situated behind it. <1>
