Historic Assynt surveyed this site in April 2016.
Centred on NC 0521 2821, an enclosure bounded by dykes to south, west and east and rocky outcrops to the north. In the centre, a prominent outcrop is crowned with the remains of a substantial single faced encircling wall approximately 8m x 7.2m (A) Access was from the north but the entrance has collapsed. This appears to have been a rough built stell with a low doorway for the sheep. <1>
NGR adjusted based on 2009 vertical aerial photographs. <2>
