Field Visit (11 October 2002)
Two possible peat stands lie 14m apart towards the S end of a field system, about 50m SE of a prehistoric building (NM48SE 33). They appear as narrow enclosures defined by low stony banks, and both have been built across the line of a field bank, which may have been robbed for their construction. That to the SE (EIGG01 488; NM 47823 83420) measures internally 5.3m by 1.1m; that to the NW (489) measures 3.8m by 1.3m.
