Full Description
Loch Barabhaig WGS Survey site 9
JW 4/5/2001
Within dense bracken are the remains of a drystone structure, recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services, 2011. It measured 6m by 3m and aligned NE/SW. There was a possible entrance on the E. 2m to the W were the footings of another building 5m by 2m. Bracken still stood nearly 2m high here and no photograph was taken. It was recommended that the structures should be preserved with a 20m unplanted buffer. Treatment of the bracken is highly desirable. Additional structures may also be hidden here. <1>
The structures do not appear on the 1st or 2nd edition OS maps.
