Full Description
SU 170:
Running from NF 78120 14159, the south side of the bed rock knoll upon which house SU 161 is situated, in a southerly direction for 84 metres to NF 78097 14074, this fragmentary turf dyke terminates at the cross dyke that defines the headland Rubha na Moine, SU 181. The line of this boundary is broken by a peat cutting 22 metres wide at NF 78101 14121.
Interpretation: This dyke marks the southern continuation of dyke SU 132.
Impact Detail: The proposed road to provide vehicle access to the causeway cuts this feature at NF 78101 14150.
