Full Description
"This line of 4 boundary markers indicates an earlier alignment of the boundary that runs between Loch Cromore and Camas Thormaid, separating Sorval to the south from the lower ground to the north. Each marker is 30 metres from the last and consists of a single orthostatic stone standing up to 0.5 metres tall. At its west end this boundary seems to mirror closely the later turf and stone (42.7) boundary wall, but at its eastern end the two alignments vary by as much as 100 metres as the turf and stone wall (42.7) swings south to meet Camas Thormaid on its south-eastern side." (Burgess 2004, 133)
