Full Description

A124 (NF706045) Three small embedded structures, represented by depressions, mostly full of nettles, with traces of wall or bank around each. A 3.5 x 2.9 m. B 4.5 x 3.8 m. C 3.2 x 2.8 m. Some modern rubbish apparently dumped into C. Their position, on a high rocky outcrop overlooking Traigh Mhor airfield, and their subterranean nature, is suggestive of a possibly military purpose, but they could be much older.
