Full Description
NF96NW 10 9117 6873.
(NF 9117 6873) An islet near the centre of 0b nan Stearnain was evidently once surrounded by a wall, except perhaps at its SE edge, which consists of steep rock. The wall is visible at various points along its base especially on the N where three or four courses remain to a width of 7ft. Traces of some buildings are also visible in the elevated centre of the islet. No causeway can be seen.
E Beveridge 1911.
No trace of a building or a causeway was found on this islet which is largely natural rock.
Visited by OS (R D) 23 June 1965.
