Full Description

"Located on the north shore of Loch Seaforth, immediately to the south of the pre-crofting blackhouse (26.10), is the remains of this stack yard. Irregular in shape and measuring ca 10 x 10 metres it skirts the coastline and forms an enclosure with the south side of the house. It is constructed of turf with a stone face, though much of the stone has been robbed to form other features." (Burgess 2004 53-54)
