Full Description
"Situated on a platform at the foot of the cliffs on the west side of Cnoc an Breach, to the north of Loch Dubh, the remains of this enclosure measure 2.2 x 2 metres and are orientated from north to south. Subcircular in form the remains of this structure consist of drystone walls standing to a height of 0.8 metres. No internal features can be identified relating to this feature, however, a single entrance may be seen in the centre of the western face of this enclosure measuring 1 metre in width. The structure seems to small and poorly built to have had a roof, but form and location suggests that this may be a day shelter." (Burgess 2004, 123)
