Full Description

"This dyke runs east, from an unnamed tributary of Abhainn Chleiteir running north to south between the Abhainn Chleiteir (to the east) and Loch Oigheabhat (to the west), following a sinuous course for 250 metres before terminating against the south-east side of Loch Oigheabhat." 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."
