Field Visit (13 June 2001)
Two buildings and a hut are situated on the eastern bank of a tributary of the Allt a’ Bhlair Mhoir, about 680m E of Eigg Primary School. The larger building (704) is sub-rectangular with rounded corners and measures 9m from E to W by 3.3m transversely within faced banks 1m in thickness and 0.7m in height. It has opposed entrances in the side walls. Immediately to the SE a parallel building (705) is smaller, measuring 5.1m by 2.9m, with an entrance in the W end and a drain around the E end and S side. To the W of the buildings there is an enclosure which measures about 15m from E to W by up to 19m transversely within stone-faced banks. A further 16m to the W there is a hut (703) that measures 4.6m from ENE to WSW by 2.8m within a turf wall spread to 1.2m in thickness and 0.5m in height, with an entrance at the SSE.
