Monument record 1060 - LOCH SCADAVAY, NORTH UIST

NF86NW 20 8380 6844.

At the W end of Loch Scadavay is an oval island some 60m long surrounded by a ruined drystone wall about 1m high and 5m wide with up to 5 entrances for boats. Along part of the walling larger stones are set on edge to form the outside face. The loch has a sluice so that its present level is nearly 1m below its natural level, thus exposing the walling and drying out the old shoreline above it. A pile of stones and a semi-circular hollow are also exposed. No structures were visible under the thick peat and dense undergrowth on the island.
