Note (16 March 2011)
What is probably a collapsed cleit is set on a grassy sloping shelf on the precipitous cliffs forming the NE coast of Boreray. Discovered by Stuart Murray during a sea bird monitoring expedition, the structure is inaccessible to all but professional climbers, and no attempt was made to visit it in the course of fieldwork in 2010. Aerial photographs show it as little more than a pile of stones.
