Full Description

Adjacent to croft no. 12 Garynahine in the former peat cutting area attached to that Croft. A structure approx. 9m long, which has been damaged due to the cleaning of the stream by a mechanical excavator (approx. two thirds has been affected). The curvature of an oval structure is still extant some 500mm high on the northwest and southeast sections. A wall with earth fast stones can be discerned running some 11m from the northwest and southeast respectively. Croft access vehicles have damaged the northwest section.
