Archaeology Notes

NB56SW 21 5345 6484

An enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1853, sheet 1) and on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1992).

Information fom RCAHMS (AKK) 13 March 1997

This enclosure now lies beneath a track constructed to allow access to Dun Eistean (NB56NW 1), and appears to have been one of several areas of lazy bed cultivation with different alignments that fringe the NE coast at this location (NB56NW 28).
