Promontory Enclosure

this promontory protruces in a southerly direction for 40m into the bay at Camas Uig. Its neck is cut by a turf and earth wall standing 0.4m high and about 1.5m in width (SMR 7326). This wall runs for 8m in a westerly direction and then turns southwest and runs for 17m to the sea. The interior of the enclosed area is largely bare rock and no structures can be seen within it.

Burgess and Church 1996, 72
