Activities

Field Visit (12 May 2007)

Two cleits are situated at the foot of the slope that descends W from the summit of Conachair. The larger of the two is the better preserved retaining five of its roof lintels though its downslope end has now collapsed (Hirta 679). The second cleit lies 3.5m to the SSW and has been robbed down to its footings.

(Hirta 678-9)
