Full Description

E 376:
The base of this field dyke is made of stones, but they are now mostly covered with turf and long grass. The dyke first runs away from the stream Abhainn Dubh for 20 metres in a south-westerly direction, then turns at a right angle to run parallel to the stream in a north-westerly direction before it fades out.
Interpretation: This dyke is part of an old field boundary (probably Post Medieval or Crofting), which is still marked on the 1970 O.S. map (1:10000).
