Full Description
NM56SW 5 centred on 516 643
A group of eight buildings are shown adjacent to a sheep wash. They were probably part of the township of Coire-mhuilinn cleared in 1828 for sheep. The gaelic name suggests there was a mill nearby, though its position is not known. This lies outside the present SSSI. This has been a desk assessment area.
