Full Description
"This wall starts as a stone groin 3 metres long in the water off the east shore of Loch Oigheabhat. It runs north-east for a short distance from the loch shore before turning east for a further 200 metres as a turf wall with occasional stone reinforcements. This boundary is marked on the modern Ordnance Survey Map." Part of: "Stock grazing management field system; probably relating to pre-crofting or early crofting period summer grazing, consisting of a series of turf walls with some stone reinforcements around gateways and where the walls run across areas of bedrock." (Burgess 2004, 17)
