Full Description
A turf and stone dyke, cutting across the south end of the peninsula jutting into Loch Mor, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Eilean Fladday. It is largely buried beneath peat but angular stones are exposed at either end. The ground level is markedly higher to the north of the dyke, suggesting that more peat may have been removed from the south side of the dyke. <1>
