Monument record 3267 - ALINE, LEWIS

NB21SW 6.05 2047 1215

There is a cairn, about 17m long, of stones up to about 0.4m long. Most of the SSE half is intact. It is about 2m high, built on a rocky outcrop, and slopes down to an irregular base of larger stones and rock, some of which is being eroded by high tides. On top of the NNW half are the remains of a building of black house type, 9.1m long partly set into the cairn. The structure is on a small rocky promontory, Rubh' an Tighe, barely large enough for it, about 1km ENE of Aline Lodge.
