Full Description

A bothy was noted by RoCAS in a 2012 DBA and walkover survey in advance of a woodland creation scheme. A moss- and grass-covered stone or turf subrectangular bothy appeared to measure 5.5m by 4m over walls 0.8m wide and standing 0.2-0.3m high. It was very degraded. There was no visible entrance and only some walling fragments survived. <1>
