Full Description
E 384:
This wall is situated directly on the shore of a small bay on the north side of Acairseid Mhor. It continues a natural stone outcrop to the inland. The wall runs 15 metres to the west north-west, and is now partly covered with grass/ soil. It stands 10 metres south-east of house E 383.
Interpretation:This wall was probably built to stabilize the soil next to the natural stone outcrop. This bay was most likely used as a small harbour. A precice date of the wall cannot be given.
