Full Description
SU 132:
This turf dyke runs from the head dyke at NF 78111 14407 south for 195 metres to the modern road at NF 78101 14215. The line of this dyke then continues to the south as SU 170. Although the dyke passes very close to barn SU 129, there is no stratigraphic relationship.
Interpretation: This dyke subdivides Baile J, enclosing an area of feannags.
Impact Detail: 91 metres of this dyke from NF 78107 14378 to NF 78103 14275 fall directly within the stone extraction site.
