Situated on Druim Mor, the broad peninsula that forms the SW limb of Oronsay, there are the extensive remains of a multiperiod field-system, several groups of cairns and a hut-circle. The various elements are described as they occur from SW to NE (see plan RCAHMS 1984, opp 136).
(2) In a slight hollow between (1) and the upper raised-storm-beach there are two stretches of stony bank and several cairns. The more southerly bank, which measures 2m in thickness and 0.2m in height, is probably the remains of a subrectangular enclosure (B), the fourth side having been destroyed by the modern track. About 25m to the N there is a short straight stretch of bank measuring 2m in thickness and 0.2m in height behind which there are at least five cairns ranging from 2m to 3m in diameter and up to 0.4m in height.
