Activities

Field Visit (4 September 2007)

A group of four cleits is situated at the foot of the scree slope below Clash na Bearnaich. The cleits lie amongst areas of cleared ground and a pattern of enclosures that extend to the NNW and to the SSE. Of the cleits, three remain roofed with remnants of their turf caps and one retains some of its roof lintels.
