Full Description

A low and indistinct turf and rubble dyke on the west side of Loch Hope, Durness. The site was seen during a walkover survey by C Dagg in 2011 in advance of a proposed forestry planting scheme. It ran between the Allt an Lochain Duibhaidh and the small, un-named stream to the north, crossing areas of thick heather cover and one central area of more open grass and bracken. <1>
