Full Description
"Situated on the shore of Loch Seaforth Head immediately to the west of blackhouse (26.12) this enclosure, formed of turf walls reinforced with stone, measures 20 x 10 metres, is irregular in shape and roughly orientated from north to south. On its east side much of its enclosure is formed by the wall of the blackhouse, which it adjoins to form a stack yard. Several stones from the Stone Circle (5.13) are located within the extent of this enclosure." (Burgess 2004, 55)
