Full Description
"Situated on the outh-east facing slopes overlooking the south shores of Eilean Chalium Cille this pair of adjoining cells measures 8 x 4 metres overall and are orientated from west to east (downslope). The westerly or uphill cell is constructed of stone, possibly with a turf outer face. This cell measures 3 metres in diameter and has an opening or entrance on its southern side. The easterly or downhill cell is constructed primarily of turf, possibly with an internal stone toe or lining. This second structure measures 5 metres from west to east and 3 metres from north to south. There is no apparent entrance in the easterly cell." (Burgess 2004, 91)
