Full Description
"Running sinuously from north to south for over 200 metres this turf and stone dyke links the crofting head dyke (26.1) to the shore of Loch Seaforth Head. It is likely to date to the crofting phase of agriculture in the area acting either as a cultivation boundary or croft boundary, possibly marking the westernmost extent of the crofts in this area." (Burgess 2004, 56)
