Full Description
The remains of a turf-and-stone dyke cutting across the neck of ground between Garbh Loch Mor in the west and Loch Poll were noted by Headland Archaeology during a pre-afforestation survey (NMRS MS 899/63, no.1). The dyke measures up to 1m in width and height. The dyke, although in places broken down, is nonetheless a well defined and clearly visible facet of the local landscape. A relatively modern post-and-wire fence broadly follows the line of the dyke. <1>
