Full Description
A turf-covered drystone ramp with rubble fill leading from a track over walls of a ruinous steading. It was noted during a walkover survey in Glen Moriston by Highland Archaeology Services in 2010. The ramp is used for accessing the steading which is used as a store for manure / silage; located next to road at the Balnacarn steadings. The structure measures 6 x 2.5 metres and up to 1.5 metres high. This interesting feature reflects a 20th-century re-use of a ruined steading. The ramp was constructed to allow large vehicles to access over the walls of the structure. <1>
