Full Description

E 390:
This harbour wall is situated only slightly above the sea surface on the north-western corner of Acairseid Mhor between natural stone outcrops. It runs for 11 metres in a westerly direction parallel to the coastline.
Interpretation: This wall was most likely built to stabilize the natural stone outcrops and overlying soil. It probably had an extention to the east.
