Archaeology Notes

NG56SW 21.03 518 605

Formerly, prior to the quarry, possibly up to 3 sheds stood on the cliff top part of the works, above the mouth of the Lealt. One of these sheds was subsequently sold to a crofter, and was taken to Balnaknock, Uig. In 1994, the shed was reported as still standing, with later additions. See NG46SW 6. See also NG46SW 10, for photographic records of what may be the diatomite works shed at the nearby settlement of Sheader.

Information from handwritten letter from Roger Miket, Museums Officer, Skye and Lochalsh District Council to MKO, MS/1077/27.
