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: 198. A rectangular structure on a sloping platform extending out onto the beach, c 3.5m x1.5m. Incorporates natural rock on one side with well built walls of stones to c. 0.5m in height forming the rest of the structure. <1>

Note; Site not visible on APs so location approximate. (T Blackie 11/4/18)
