Full Description
An archaeological assessment of the proposed route of the pipelines between Letterfearn and Ratagan, Ratagan and Ault a' Chruinn, and Ardelve and Sallachy was undertaken by C Dagg in 2000.
Turf Dyke: This low turf dyke runs SE from the road, clearly visible across the low ground but cannot be followed on the higher ground. The aerial photograph suggests that the dyke extends SW along the higher ground and curves back towards the shore to form an enclosure or head dyke. <1>
