J Aitken : 30/01/01.
Lying on open, level ground about 6.0m to the west side of the Torran to Umachan path and directly under the high cliffs on the north-west side of Meall Dearg is a small enclosed well. This well consists of a shallow tank, still containing clear water, which has been surrounded by a low stone wall on all sides but that facing the path. It is likely that a flat slab once capped the wall to prevent debris entering the water. The overflow from the well runs under the path in a narrow channel, eventually finding its way down the hill in a westerly direction. Surveyed by Martin Wildgoose in advance of proposed planting in 1999. <1>
