Full Description

SU 111:
This stone and turf dyke runs around the south-western shore of Bagh Mor for 45 metres from NF 79019 14444 in a south-westerly direction curving to NF 78987 14423. It is punctuated by large orthostats along its line, particularly at its eastern end.
Interpretation: This dyke skirts the coast line partially enclosing flat coastal land to the south-west of blackhouse SU 101 and falls within the larger coastal enclosure that defines the ground surrounding that house.
