Field Visit (24 July 2011)
The roof has collapsed into this end-loading cleit, also filling in the entrance, while part of the exterior of the NE side has fallen outwards. Max exterior height c1.8m at ESE end.
Sited in an area of quite densely scattered rock fall, there is restricted access to the cleit's entrance. The steepness of the slope is such that there must have been a step down into the interior.
Visited by J Harden and I McHardy (NTS) 24 July 2011.
