Full Description
"Starting as a drystone dyke on the northern shore of Loch Mor this boundary runs for 680 metres in a northerly direction and is constructed for much of its length in turf with some stone. It is mirrored for much of its length by a canalised watercourse on its eastern side that runs south towards Loch Mor. This dyke terminates on the western side of Grianan Beag, where it meets a burn that runs around the southern and western sides of the hill before heading north to the shore of Loch Erisort. This burn seems to mark the northern continuation of the boundary line formed initially by the dyke." (Burgess 2004, 134)
