Full Description
"This boundary dyke links Loch Cromore in the west to Camas Thormaid in the east, running for 220 metres across the narrow isthmus of land between the two bodies of water. It stands to a height of 1.5 metres and is constructed of turf with a stone face on its southern side. It separates poor grazing land to the south, on the slopes of Sorval, from better grazing and cultivated land (42.5) to the north. This dyke marks a later phase of land division as the boundary markers (53) may be seen to the north on a similar line." (Burgess 2004, 133)
