Field Visit (15 May 2007)
A group of seven cleits extends across an area measuring 55m from E to W by 50m transversely on the saddle between Cnoc Sgar and Mullach Sgar. The best preserved retains two roof lintels (Hirta 335), two have collapsed (Hirta 333-4), and the remaining four survive as little more than grass grown mounds with protruding stones (Hirta 2094-7).
(Hirta 333-5, 2094-7)
