NG 06763 91344 During the cairns survey (see Holasmul entry), a general survey of the area was conducted and a rock shelter was observed on the right side of Gleann Uamh nam Ban (Cave of the Women) which would appear to be the site the Gleann is named after. The site shows some remains of use and local tradition has a Norse association to it. The site is probably early medieval.
