Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 28 August 1997

From NB 04745 32569 westwards, a complex series of stone alignments spread across the hillside of Sgal Mor to the north of the main road. These were the vestigial remains of enclosures and, possibly, building footings. Two drystone dykes running on contrary alignments, one from southeast to north west, the other southwest to north east are visible as single courses of field boulders protrucing from the grass, with a third dyke further uptill on a souteast to northwes alignment.
