Field Visit (4 September 2007)
This group of fifteen cleits and a pen is situated towards the foot of the scree slope amongst areas of cleared ground and a pattern of enclosures that extends to the SSE. Of the cleits, only two retain all of their roof lintels (Hirta 832 and 846), seven are partially roofed and a further six are now roofless and in ruinous condition.
(Hirta 832, 834-6, 845-55, 2102)
