Monument record MHG4555 - Allt A' Chrannaig

NN48NE 5 Centred NN 492 892

12 structures were recorded within an area some 200m square N of the confluence of the Allt Coire Chrannaig and the Allt a' Chrannaig. The foundations, many of which were on knolls or mounds, were generrally rectangular with rounded corners and varied internally from 4m by 2m to 2m by 1.5m. One foundation was circular 1.5m diameter. There was more stone in some walls than in others but most structures had probably been of turf.
On a low spur of some 200m to the W there is a rectangular ruin 6.5m by 2.5m within low tumbled walls. Nearby is a stone walled circular structure 3.5m diameter which is scooped into the S slope of the spur. In addition to these there are foundations of other enclosure walls and at least four similar rectangular structures.
