Full Description
This trap is constructed as the eastern end of the beach around the mouth of the Sallachan river, and sheltered by Sallachan Point. There is extensive settlement in the area.
The sides of the wall are covered with weed, while the top of the infill of the relatively wide wall is covered with mussels. The gap at the south end may be original, or may have been created by the outflow of water trapped on the beach inshore of the trap.
Information supplied by Sound of Mull Survey - P Martin.
