The grass-grown remains of two structures lie on Rubha nan Feannag, the headland on the W side of the part of Canna Harbour that does not dry out at low water. The larger (NG 2739 0499 ) is almost square on plan but is open on its N side measuring about 8m across from NNE to SSW; what appears to be a drainage channel around its E, S and W sides may in fact be a robber trench. The second structure (NG 2737 0498) lies immediately to the SW, and comprises little more than a narrow groove 5m long flanked on both sides by a low upcast earthen bank.
(Canna 83-4).
