Full Description
DBAs and walkover surveys were carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd in November 2002 and April 2003 in advance of a proposed wind farm development at Cambusmore Estate, near Bonar Bridge, Sutherland.
Site 16: On the north shore of Loch Buidhe lie the remains of a rectangular building 4.8m NW-SE and 3.7m SW-NE, shown on the OS 1st Edition map coverage. Constructed of dressed, coursed dry-stone blocks the walls are up to 1.2m high and are uniformly 0.6m wide. The SW, NW and NE walls are upstanding and the interior area is clear of rubble. There is no evidence for internal partitioning. Very large stone blocks mark the present southern extent of the side walls and indicate that this is the maximum extent of the building. The SE aspect, facing the loch, is entirely open. From its position and form it is likely that this building is a boat-house. <1>
