Full Description

138: NB 0370 3502
Dam
Build up of stones narrowing the burn between Loch Bharabhat and Loch Camasord to facilitate an increase in water volume for the mills between the two lochs. Where the burn forks, the south fork has been dammed to increase flow to the north form which runs to the mills. An engraved stone seems to bear initials AMO - this may be an early OS benchmark.
