Full Description

A degraded stone wall 1m high and 1.5m wide runs along NW shore of Ceann nan Clachan; in places it has been eroded by tidal action. To the W the wall turns inland and terminates in a degraded sub-rounded turf-banked enclosure c. 10m across internally; banks 1-1.5m wide and 0.5m high. To the E, the wall turns inland and terminates; a spur branches to the north-east, crossing the rocky foreshore of an inlet, and abuts the wall (V100) encircling the Garry Iochdrach knoll.
