Tigh Creagach (Coal Depot) [NAT]
OS 1:10,000 map, 1981
This building was clearly originally a house. It is a substantial stone-built structure of partly-dressed stone and mortar. A doorway in the S (long) wall, a fireplace in the W wall, and a series of windows (apparently 4 viewed from the outside) in the W wall have been blocked. The E end is now open, about 3m wide, and the N side has been re-faced in brick. The walls are 0.7m thick and stand to wallhead height, around 2m. Weighing machinery is still in the area of the building.
F Hood [et al.] 1993, visited April 1993.
