Information from RCAHMS (ARG), 3 October 2008
Field Visit (12 May 2007)
A linear group of ten cleits is strung out along the W side of the track leading down into Gleann Mor from Am Blaid. Only one retains its roof and turf cap, most retain only a few lintels, and two are now completely roofless. An arc of bank, possibly extending under the track immediately to the E of cleit 487, lies adjacent to the head dyke, and may belong to a structure of unknown date and function.
