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.

This track, marked on the 1' edition Ordnance Survey map, appears to connect the Ratagan sheepfold with the Glenelg road, possibly a route for the movement of livestock from Glenelg making use of the sheepfold. There do not appear to be any construction features associated with the track. <1>
