Monument record 1044 - LOCH SCADAVAY, NORTH UIST

NF86NE 1 centred 865 684.

(Area : NF 865 684) A walled islet, connected to the N shore of Loch Scadavay by an S-shaped causeway, lies between the promontories Rudh' a'Chlachain and Ard Smeilish.
There are indications of a gateway a little east from the landing point of the causeway, which leads to a guard-chamber built against the inner side of the fort wall. Its walls range in thickness from 2 to 3ft, enclosing an almost rectangular area of approx 6 by 8ft.
Three other round or oval sheiling-type erections are scattered over the island, but near the centre is a more important building with 2ft thick walls enclosing an area about 12ft diameter.
A large semicircle of stones in the loch forms a boat-harbour on the west side of the island.
