Full Description

Section 6, Site 29: Wall. Runs roughly SW - NE on the ridge west of the road, south of Loch Comhnard. It appears to start at its southwest end at a large boulder. After several sharp changes in direction it turns eastwards towards the road, and seems to end about 15 m from the road, joining wall no. 28, although the actual junction is obscured by boggyground and drainage channels.Throughout its length it is 10 cm to 20 cm high and 1 m wide, with a covering of heather and grass. <1>
