Activities

Field Visit (12 May 2007)

Four cleits stand below the summit of Cnoc a' Bheannaichta. One (Hirta 494) appears to overlie the head dyke, two lie immediately to the E and the other is situated further down the slope about 28m to the WSW (Hirta 493). The latter is the only one to retain its roof.

(Hirta 493-6)
