Full Description

"Covering much of the ground between Loch Cromore and Loch nam Bodach the remains of this field system include clearance cairns, linear clearance banks, turf and stone walls including (42.4) which bounds its eastern extent and extensive areas of feannagan cultivation. These sinuous hand dug beds cover much of the ground where enough soil exists to allow their formation. This field system is a continuation of that noted to the north (42.1 and 42.3)." (Burgess 2004, 132)
