Archaeology Notes

A low turf bank, up to 0.3 m high, but generally no more than a clear break of slope, runs in a W direction from NG 68577 11340 around the N side of the summit of Beinn an Duibh Leathaid to NG 68401 11263, near the E end of Creag na Ba . The steep crags of Creag na Ba appear to act as a continuation of the boundary and at the W end of the crags, the bank reappears and runs for a short length before intersecting the length of bank NG61SE 31 at NG 67987 10990.
