Full Description
NN08SW 1 028 824.
Gleann Suileag runs N from Fassfern on the shore of Loch Eil about 5 miles W of Corpach. Two miles up the glen from Loch Eil at an altitude of between 200m and 350m, 14 recessed platforms have been discovered and recorded. They are stone built and the diameters range from between 8.2m (27ft) and 11.8m (39ft). These platforms are all beyond the limit of a forestry plantation but it is possible that more may be hidden within the trees. The surrounding terrain is heather moorland rising steeply to the summits at 630m.
