Full Description

"Situated on the north-western shore of Loch nam Bodach the remains of this wall run for 9 metres from west to east before turning south and running out into the loch for a further 3 metres. They are constructed entirely of stone, but terminate by a wooden post that might provide an aid for a person boarding a boat or for mooring a boat to a jetty." (Burgess 2004, 120-121)
