NB56NW 29 centred on 5150 6560
A large expanse of lazy bed cultivation with different alignments stretches from the Butt of Lewis lighthouse (NB56NW 8) to Cunndal. It is overlain by the linear fields of the improved crofts at Eoropie to the E and is probably a continuation of the field-system depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1853, sheet 1) to the SW (NB56NW 19). Considered together with the cultivation remains visible on the NE coast (NB56NW 28), this expanse represents a very large area of cultivation subsequently abandoned.
