Full Description
"Situated on the eastern shore of Loch Cromore, on the western side of croft (26?), this structure links the shore to several natural bedrock outcrops. It is two metres long and of drystone construction standing 0.5 metres above high water level. This feature may have functioned either as a fishing stance, a jetty or as both. Phase of origin is uncertain, however, it appears to have been well maintained until recently, unlike other similar structures seen around the shore of the loch (46.1)." (Burgess 2004, 127)
