Activities

Field Visit (12 May 2007)

Two cleits are situated 11.5m apart on the grass slopes that descend SW from the summit of Conachair. The southern of the two is the better preserved and still retains its roof with fragments of turf cap (Hirta 694); the northern cleit has been reduced to a rectangular mound of rubble.

(Hirta 693-4)
