Activities

Field Visit (10 May 2007)

This group of ten cleits is centred on the rock outcrop, Cnoc Sgar, and all but one (Hirta 314) stands to the SE of the head dyke. Of the group, seven retain all or most of their roof lintels, some with fragments of turf cap, two are now roofless and in ruinous condition, and one has been reduced to its rear end only.

(Hirta 314-23)
