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: 31. The remains of a small boulder built square shaped hut, c 2m x 2m, the walls being of 3 to 4 courses, with a possible entrance in the S wall. A boat naust or pull up is situated just to one side - see MHG30534. <1>

Note; Site not visible on APs so location approximate. (T Blackie 9/4/18)
