Mill/still
Situated on the east bank of the stream that runs from Loch Mheacleit north to the sea, approx. 500m north of the loch, are the remains of a structure. Measuring 6m wes-east and 4m north - south, the building is situated under a north facing outcrop and has two identifiable internal areas. While the inflow is not visible, the outflow may be seen exiting the structure on its northwest corner and running for 1.5m to the stream. It is possible, given this structure's location and size, that it is actually a smithy and/or an illicit still, similar to those recorded at Garenin.
