Full Description

Recorded by Historic Assynt as part of a wider survey of Clashmore Township.
Structure H is a clapper bridge. It is well built and survives in good condition and regular use. The stonework resembles the model farm dyke work and so probably dates from the 1870s, but it is on the site of an older bridge from the main settlement to the mill. <1>
