Full Description

A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of Cuil, on the shore of Loch Linnhe, Lochaber, was carried out in 2010 by N Malcolm for RCAHMS' 'Scotland's Rural Past Project'. Here there was a small gully with sloping sides, sloping downhill and widening as it went. It was about 25 metres long and at its mouth was 5 - 6 metres wide. Across the mouth there was a line of small boulders covered now with moss. There was much evidence of coppicing here and it was possible that this was a stock enclosure closed off by wattle hurdles. It lay close to the track to Leacnasgeir. <1> <2>
