Full Description

"Situated at the summit of an unnamed hill above the southern shores of Eilean Chalium Cille this structure consists of a semicircle of large boulders arranged around a low dip. Measuring 4 metres from west to east and 3 metres from north to south this site may have a number of interpretations, ranging from being the remains of a stone setting or a large kerbed cairn, through being the remains of a large cellular structure to being the site of a quarry. Without further investigation a more precise interpretation is impossible." (Burgess 2004, 79-80)
