Archaeology Notes

NM47NW 36 41385 79172

A subrectangular building with an adjoining enclosure lies in an angle of the substantial head-dyke that follows a sinuous course extending away from the cliffs at the NE end of Camas Mor. They lie on the S side of the dyke, which appears to overlie their N ends. The building measures 7m by 3.5m within a faced rubble wall 0.8m in thickness and up to 0.5m in height. The entrance is roughly midway along its E side, and the S end of the interior is dug into the slope. The bank of the enclosure extends in an arc from the SW corner of the building to the line of the head-dyke.
