Field Visit (4 September 2007)
This group of nine cleits is situated at the foot of the scree slope just to the N of Clash na Bearnaich. The cleits lie amongst the areas of cleared ground and a pattern of enclosures that extend to the NNW and SSE. Of the cleits, four remain roofed, most with fragments of turf cap, four retain some of their roof lintels and one is now roofless and in ruinous condition.
