Field Visit (5 September 2007 - 8 September 2007)
A group of four cleits stands amongst quarry debris to the NW of the road leading up from Village Bay to Mullach Mor. Two of the cleits occupy mounds, the western having been rebuilt at some stage in the last thrity years as it is shown in ruinous condition on Mary Harman's photographs dating to the 1970s (Hirta 875). Both lie on the line of a drystone wall that defines a circular enclosure, the NW edge of which is now obscured by spoil from the quarry.
