Monument record MHG18181 - Allt Stionachh Coire

NC64NE 27 651 474

This farmstead is bounded by a stream on the E and by a stony bank on the other sides. It comprises the ruins of a shepherd's house with related outbuildings and walled enclosures; a stalker's hut, partly collapsed, abuts the front of the house. This house still known locally as Staingachoire, (OS 6-inch map, Sutherland, 1st ed., 1874) was inhabited within living memory, the name probably being transferred when the earlier inhabited area, some 200m to the S (see NC64NW 3), was abandoned at the time of the clearances. On the bank of the stream, at NC 6522 4739, is a ruinuos structure that was probably a corn-drying kiln.
