"Running from the south-west side of Loch Oigheabhat for 143 metres to the edge of the survey area, the Abhainn Loch na Muilne, the course of this dyke crosses the burn and continues in a west south-westerly direction for a further 79 metres outside the 2003 study area before turning to the north and paralleling the course of the Abhainn Loch na Muilne." 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."
