Full Description
Fraoch Eilean
This place name covers a short section of the coastline as it turns around from the Inner Loch into Barrisdale Bay, as far as the point where the footpath from Lochournhead to Barrisdale meets the vehicular track to the Barrisdale moorings at the Fraoch Eilean. These sites were recorded by NOSAS in 2004 as part of an archaeological survey of Inner Loch Hourn.
Site: 403. An area of rig and furrow cultivation remains, 18m NE/SW x 12m, on a NW slope bounded on the N by a steep slope and on the W by the crest of a steep slope. The rig crests are 1.8m apart, 0.7m wide and 0.2m deep. Below this site and above the present day vehicular track to the Barrisdale Estate moorings are the remains of an earlier path with occasional stone settings forming a revetment. <1>
