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: 280. The substantial footings of a rectangular building with long axis running N / S, c 1 lm long and 4m wide external. The wall footings are up to c lm wide and stand to c.5m high. There is a possible internal cross-wall dividing off the N third of the building, and there is a small depression to the N of the N wall, c 2m x lm, which might have been a dairy. <1>
