Monument record 6899 - Bagh an Acaire, North Uist

two conjoined rectilinear structurew with rounded angles, both oriented NE-SW. The larger, southern structure (A) measures 14m by 4m within walls 1.5m wide by up to 1m high; walls are of double-faced boulder faces with an earth and stone core; entrance towards S end of E wall; interior divided by boulder partition foundations into 3 chambers 3m, 7m, and 2.5m long (from N to S); partitions not bonded with main walls. Northern structure measures 6m by 3m within walls of similar dimensions; adjoins N half of E wall of A, and projects N of it; outer wall face distinct cobbled character; only entrance through a now blocked door in E wall of A; interior divided into 2 chambers by boulder parition foundation c. 1.5m from S end of interior. Structure B probably a secondary addition to A. A terrace projects SE of the two structures and is revetted by a boulder face, probably to provide a level foundation; a distinct 3m wide sub-circular hollow located 1.5m from the SE corner of A is probably the remains of a tank or well.
