Full Description

"Running from north to south for 36 metres this stone wall terminates on the north shore of Loch Seaforth Head. At its northern end two walls seem to run away from it at 90 degrees for 3 metres to the east creating a small enclosure on its eastern side. This wall is likely to be part of the formation of infields and stack yards relating to the crofting settlement on the north side of the loch." (Burgess 2004, 54)
