NH57NW 5 5272 7693
To the NW of Creag na Cille, on a SW-facing slope above Loch Morie, there is a rectangular terrace built into a declivity in the slope. The terrace, which is defined by rough drystone walls up to 1m thick and 1m high measures about 8m by 5.3m overall.
This platform may be associated with the holy well recorded in this area and a spring still issues about 10m downslope (see NH57NW 1).
Visited by RCAHMS (PJD) 15 November 1989.
