Full Description

The remains of an old trackway are clearly visible at the termination of a small outcropping cliff. It has been calculated using slabs from the cliff to heighten and consolidate the route as it runs between cliff and boggy area below . Unfortunately it becomes increasingly difficult to follow the track to the north and south of this area so it could not be establishedwhere the track originally lead., although the likelihood is to the 'Airigh Crogach' and the other shielings in that area.
