Monument record 10095 - LSFH 4.2 Cnoc Iemastal

"This length of turf and stone walling seems to be related to the cultivation (4.1) to the east and may be form part of a now fragmentary boundary or enclosure dyke relating to a larger cultivation field system. It measures 2 metres in width and up to 0.5 metres high and runs from west to east for 60 metres before its course can no longer be traced. It is situated below the summit of Cnoc Iemastal on its north facing slopes." Part of a field system. "Located on the northern slopes of Cnoc Iemastal the fragmentary remains of this field system consists of feannagan and turf and stone dykes. The proximinty of the township of Sildonis, located on a headland on the southern shore of Loch Erisort, suggests that this system may mark the southerly extents of the pre-crofting precursor of that township, or activity relating to the very earliest phases of the enclosure in that area."
