Full Description
Cnoc a Mhaide
NB 45743 40857 ±6. On the top of this low hummocky hill a number of green mounds are suggestive of house sites but could be glacial. Short stretches of wall are exposed between peat cuttings, two courses in places, which extend out as heather-covered dykes passing through NB 45718 40909, and NB 45785 40905 ±7. Nothing is shown on the 1st edn OS map here, but a fragmentary dyke system shown on the 1851 map suggests that it may be relict from earlier land use
