Monument record 8614 - Sgeir a' Chlogaid, Vatersay

3. Sgeir a' Chlogaid (VS66)
An earth and stone wall or bank, about 1m wide and surviving to 0.7m height, closing off a small promontory. There are no visible traces of structures or occupation on the promontory and the wall/bank is not substantial enough to have been for defensive purposes. The promontory was probably used as a sheep pen.
Brannigan & Grattan 1998, 44

Regardless of whether this was latterly used as a sheep pen, excavation and survey evidence from the rest of the archipelago suggests that this was probably originally a prehistoric site. MML 15.11.2000

This feature is much degraged, but stable. Similar turf bank adjoins this feature and runs along the northern coastal edge, demarcating the steep drop and is likely to reflect the last phase of use of this site.
