Archaeology Notes

NM47NW 29 41945 78707 and 41979 78683

Two subrectangular pens lie 38m apart at the foot of a rocky ridge to the NE of Port an t-Seilich. The first has been built against a V-shaped cleft at the foot of a low crag on the upper edge of a terrace cultivated with lazy-beds. It is defined by a stony bank and encloses an area measuring 2.4m from ESE to WNW by 2.2m transversely. The second pen lies to the ESE in an area of outcrop and tumble. Built at the bottom of a fissure in the rock outcrops, it measures 2.5m by 1.4m over a ruinous boulder wall and is open on the SE.
