NG 5907 3771 - Parallel Stone Lines (Feature 13). On a grassy area on the line of a track coming upslope from Hallaig towards Fearns lie two parallel lines of stones, 34m long and approximately 1.50m apart. The lines run roughly north-south. The eastern line is fairly continuous at the south half but the stones are more scattered at the north end. The stones in the west line are more scattered and line is less distinct. Site identified during an archaeological survey of the townships of Hallaig and An Leac and the surrounding area.
