NC 253 225 At least seven burnt mounds along Allt Druim nan Torr.
M Bangor-Jones 1998

In a low valley with a small stream running through are five possible burnt mounds distributed along the stream banks, mainly on the west side of the valley. While these are large piles of stone, averaging around 9m in diameter, their identification as burnt mounds could only be established confidently by excavation.
