Walled Enclosure, Scaalan, Lochmaddy.
About 300 yards from the eastern extremity of Scaalan, the narrow peninsula between Strom Dearg and Strom Ban, immediately to the south of Lochmaddy village, in a hollow between two outcrops of rock, is an enclosure measuring 54 feet from east to west and 43 feet from north to south, formed by a ring of fairly large blocks of stone. Hand-made unornamented pottery was noted at the mouth of rabbit burrows both inside and outside the wall, and iron rivets with lozenge-shaped heads of Viking type are recorded as having been found here.
