Full Description

"Situated with the extent of dyke (43.1) this field system is formed primarily of feannagan and covers an area of 100 metres from west to east and 50 metres from north to south. These lazybeds are hand dug and generally follow a sinuous course from north to south down the lower, southerly slopes of Beinn Lobheir. They are the continuation of the pre-crofting/crofting field system (45.58) located in the Loch Seaforth Head crofts immediately to the west." (Burgess 2004, 63)
