Full Description
NC62NW 4 620 258.
Situated at the junction of Allt Coire na Fearna and Allt na Caillich are the footings of several buildings, 0.6m maximum height, and associated enclosures.
Visited by OS (WDJ) 15 May 1961.
The site is recorded on the 1st edition OS map as an unnamed settlement consisting of two roofed buildings and two small rectangular enclosures, with a small area of cultivated ground west of the Allt Coire na Fearna and a larger area to the east. The site was visited as part of a walkover survey in April 2009 and is interpreted as a small permanent farmstead. The structures occupy a small alluvial fan and the survey report recommends that the entire area is excluded from any proposed planting scheme. <1>
