Monument record MHG7569 - WW2 defences, Am Fiaclachan

The concrete bases of five Nissen huts are disposed on two W-facing terraces on W side of the peninsula. There are two circular gun-platforms, connected by a path, one on the crest of the ridge to the NE of the Nissen huts, other on a low ridge just above the High Water Mark to SW. 4 of the huts are disposed across the first terrace down from crest of the ridge. A drain cut around the back of this terrace predates path running down from northernmost gun-platform and presumably took water away from the huts. The fifth hut lies on next terrace down towards the sea, along path to the second gun-platform. A wall slot was visible at edges of all the bases, and fragments of stoves were visible on three (Inverewe 32-34). C-shaped iron roof trusses and fragments of reinforced glass were only remains of superstructure. A rudimentary jetty is tucked in to a small inlet to S of Nissen huts, with no visible paths connecting to it.
All huts were standing October 1946 (visible on RAF 1:10,000 vertical aerial photograph CPE/SCOT/UK/83 No. 4255), while by March 1948 only three remained (visible on RAF vertical aerial photograph CPE/SCOT/321 No. 4383) and by May 1952 all had been dismantled or had collapsed (visible on RAF 1:10,000 vertical aerial photograph 540/725 No. 5137).
