Full Description

An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.

Structure: The footings of one small building are visible just above the road. This is marked as a roofed building on the lst edition Ordnance Survey map. Its proximity to the jetty suggests a fisherman's cottage or store. A track passes WNW up the bank from the structure (no. 5). It is not marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. The well is at the upper edge of the track about halfway between the road and the forestry. <1>
