Activities

Field Visit (11 May 2009)

RCAHMS Archaeological Survey: St Kilda

A gathering fold overlies what may be the remains of an earlier cellular building. A possible cleit, unusual in both shape and build, stands immediately to the W and is perhaps more readily interpreted as a freestanding cell belonging to the fold.

(Hirta 376)

Visited by RCAHMS (ARG, SPH) 11 May 2009
