Archaeology Notes

NL69SW 79 6259 9414

A sheep pen, 24m x 8m, created by two turf and stone walls built between two rock outcrops, was recorded during a survey on Barra and Vatersay in 1992. An oblong structure built into the SW corner is large enough to be a lambing pen.

K Branigan, P Foster, D Gilbertson 1992.
