Archaeology Notes

At the foot of the W flank of Beinn na' Leac at about 260m OD is a ruinous turf-covered stone wall, which once prevented access to a small fast flowing burn.

R Miket et al 1991; NMRS MS/530.

NG 5884 3709 - Sheiling (Feature 18). A ruined sheiling 2.50m northeast-southwest x 1.40m. The rough walls are 0.80m thick and 0.40m high with stone showing above turf banks. An entrance lies in the northeast.

NG 5884 3709 - Sheiling (possible) (Feature 19). A rough stone and turf bank has the faint remains of a sub-circular stone built sheiling against its south side. The stone wall, very decayed, runs down to a burn and across the burn continues as a turf bank.

Sites identified during an archaeological survey of the townships of Hallaig and An Leac and the surrounding area.
