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 3 x 3 metres and are open to the north. Subcircular in form the remains of this structure consist of drystone walls standing to a height of 1.2 metres built against several large erratics or boulders to the south side. 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)
