Full Description

E 418:
This dyke stands about 0.5 metres high and is nearly completely turfed over. It runs for 30 metres in towards north north-west before it curves round and runs for a further 70 metres west north-west until it terminates at the coastline. A cultivation area (E 419) is located north of the dyke.
Interpretation: This dyke was probably a field boundary, a fenceline is still marked at its place on the O.S. map of Eriskay from 1970.
