Full Description

"Situated on the south-west facing slopes of the high ground at the eastern end of Eilean Chalium Cille. The remains of this cultivation amount to five large rigs with a wave length of 10 metres that run downslope from north-east to south-west for fifty metres. There are no other remains that might be associated with a more cohesive field system (clearance cairns, dykes etc) in the immediate area." (Burgess 2004, 94)
