Full Description
"The remains of an extensive system of feannagan lazybeds (hand dug, sinuous, cultivation beds) cover the western sides of Eilean Orasaidh. Situated mostly in the valleys between the higher ground these remains are likely to date to the post-medieval/pre-crofting period." (Burgess 2004, 124)
