Field Visit (1974 - 1984)
On scaling the pinnacle of Clagan na Rusgachan, Stuart Murray discovered a structure in the form of a miniature cleit. Inaccessible to all but professional climbers, no attempt was made to visit it. A photograph taken by Murray shows the structure roofless, with a large slab forming its seaward end on the SSE and other stones piled up to form its sides. Estimated from the rucksack appearing in the photograph, its interior is probably little more than 1m in length.
