Full Description
Construction (remains): Some 2.5 miles NNW of Mullbuie, at the S end of Loch a' Cheracher flow (ND 135 365) and to the E of the Allt Badain Ghuirm, is visible the base of a turf bank along the edge of the flow, forming a segment of a circle, with a chord of 200 yds. The surface on both sides is boggy. The base of the bank is now some 12ft wide and its elevation trifling. Its purpose has probably been to prevent cattle wandering into the flow.
