Full Description
An earth and stone or turf dyke, between the Allt nan Caorach (NH c.083 902) and An Crasg (NH 0835 9025), was recorded during the course of a pre-afforestation survey undertaken by J Wordsworth. Although the dyke is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1968) it is clearly marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross and Cromarty, sheet xxi, 1881). It is presumably the march boundary of the township. <1>
