Archaeology Notes

NG47SW 16 416 732.

'An earth house has been noted on the hillside below the rocky summit of Carn Urugag. The passage oriented ENE for c. 3m, curves NE for another metre and terminates in a circular chamber, c. 0.5m in diameter. The entrance is c. 0.65m wide; an exposed roofing stone is c. 8cm thick; the chamber is ruined but the passage is practically intact'.

J Davies and F Bunce 1979.
