Full Description

EF 29:
This enclosure lies to the north of the main group of buildings belonging to the settlement of Coilleag. It is shown as a roofed structure on a 1904 map.
No impact description given by Babtie Group.
(Babtie Group, 1999)

E 299:
This dyke runs from west north-west to east south-east for about 15 metres. Its base is made of stone, but it is now nearly completely covered with turf. The dyke runs across a small valley.
Interpretation: This structure is probably contemporary with the house directly to the west (E 298). It could also be part of an enclosure as Babtie Group stated in their description, but this possible enclosure was not visible during the survey carried out in May 2000.
