Archaeology Notes

NM68SE 18 centred on NM 6825 8436

A large curvilinear turf-covered bank runs uphill on the southern slopes of Druim an Daraich. The remains of two drystone dykes running parallel to the banks lie at 30m and 60m to the southwest, possibly relating to the original head-dyke of the nearby farmstead. They run from the edge of the break in slope, northwards to the base of a cliff face, thus forming and enclosure on the natural shelf.
