Full Description
Raasay Survey 2000. Site 24: Just to the north of An Feadam, a grassy area now with encroaching bracken and heather on the higher levels, has been formed into irregular "fields" sloping gently towards the sea. Some of these are small man-made terraces with low stone walls which are also heather covered on the lower levels. Although the terrain resembles that at feature 22, it does not have the numerous clearance remains of that site. <1>
