Full Description
A wall just off the coast is visible on aerial photography at Rhiconich. It is depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS Maps. It measures approximately 70m. Its purpose is unclear as its shape and location in relation to the shoreline do not suggest that it is a fish trap. <1> <2> <3>
The fish trap was photographed during aerial surveys by HES in 2015. See link below to HES Canmore record for photos. <4>
