Field Visit (11 May 2007)
This group of eleven cleits occupies an area measuring 115m from NW to SE by 53m transversely on the grass slopes to the N below the summit of Mullach Mor (from NA 09312 00336 in the NW to NA 09386 00249 in the SE). Only three remain partially roofed, a further two retain a single lintel and the remaining six are now roofless and in ruinous condition. Unusually, three have entrances at their downslope ends (Hirta 658-9, 665). There has been extensive peat/turf stripping in this area.
