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: 388. The bracken covered oval shaped remains of a small hut, c 2m x 1.5m internal. Distinct walls remain on all sides to .5m in height built of rough stone, and recessed into the slope. Possible entrance to SE. <1>

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