Full Description
"Running from west to east for 205 metres this stone and turf dyke links Loch Beag an Tanga to Loch na Muilne. Crossing the high ground between the two lochs there is a possible gate in its line at the highest point, and built against its north side at this location is the remains of a small stone enclosure (42.14). This wall forms a series of such features that seem to divide the rough grazing in the vicinity into management units. These walls have not been maintained for some time and may date back to before the crofting regime was instituted." (Burgess 2004, 163)
