Full Description
Allt Gormaig
This is an area of steep rocky shore-line, with small bays in between, all with cleared landing places, and one or two huts. At the foot of the Allt Gormaig there is a fluvial fan with several small but substantial scattered stone buildings, and a small amount of cultivated ground. The walls of all but one of the buildings still stand in some cases to wall head height. There are also a few roughly built huts, but none of the better buildings show signs of adaptation or re-use. These sites were recorded by NOSAS in 2002 as part of an archaeological survey of Inner Loch Hourn.
Site: 281. A shallow stone lined structure, "U" shaped, c 2m x lm and .5m deep, filled in with tumble and vegetation. Sits just to the NW of building Site 280. <1>
Note; Site not visible on APs so location approximate. (T Blackie 9/4/18)
