Cache and Dash. Parking area adjacent to layby. Cache easily accessible from road side.
The Beauly Firth has a number of fishtraps and other archaeological sites which you may have already seen if visiting other caches along this road.
This fish trap at Corgrain Point is quite different from that of the "Yairs of the Beauly Firth" cache in that it is much more complex structure and recent possibly dating to the 18th century based on the adjacent fish trap. The posts and structure can be seen best at low tide with spring tides best.
Just a few hundred metres further out another trap has been identified with 13 wooden posts found poking out the mud. Samples from these have been radiocarbon dated back about 250 years ago with the posts derived from Alder.
Occasionally otters are seen feeding along this coast so keep a sharp eye out for them.
