Full Description
"Running from the south shore of Loch na Muilne for 67 metres in a south-westerly direction this wall crosses one of the streams that feeds the loch from the south, then terminates at a junction of the modern wire enclosures to the south of the loch. It is likely that this wall forms part of the crofting phase of enclosure, and stone has been used in construction rather than wire and posts as the ground it crosses is too wet for post construction to be successful." (Burgess 2004, 163)
