Full Description
On a SW-facing slope at the foot of an escarpment is a settlement of a minimum of four embanked cell-structures. Two of these are overlain by later and more angular stone cell-structures. A rectangular stock enclosure lies adjacent to the buildings to the north-west, 10.7m in length and 8.6m in width. Orientated NE to SW its entrance is at the SW. A lambing pen sits in the E corner, and an arc of stones against the NE wall may mark the basal blocking of a fence-line.
Extensive rig and furrow and field-banks lie to the south.
Visited by R Miket 30 May 1988.
One enclosure (at NG 1868 4270) is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Isle of Skye 1879, sheet xxvi) and on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1964).
