Monument record 8598 - Heishival Beag, Barra

28: Heishival Beag (VN146)
Three earth- and stone-walled circular huts with diameters of 3m, 3m and 4m. They are heavily embedded and it is possible htat they are pre-modern huts rather than recent shelters, but their small size withinteriors only 1.8 - 2.6m dia, suggests they were not permanent occupation sites.

C. 3m, foundations only, heavily grassed over. Possibly prehistoric to judge from embedding but could be post-mediaeval shelters.
