Enclosure
Situated on the edge of Loch Braigh a'Mhuill this enclosure measures 9.0 metres in diameter and is built against a north facing outcrop face. The construction is very poor quality as the stones used are mostly beach stones and therefore collapse easily. There are no structures apparent in the enclosure. Running from the west side of the enclosure in a northerly direction for 27.0 metres is a drystone wall that links the outcrop to the loch. At the end of this wall a 2.0 metre long causeway links a small island to the loch shore. Monument 265 (NB 0284 3413) lies 10.0 metres to the west.
